  1. Pooja R D

    Loved the Penguin Drop Caps edition! The story itself is thought-provoking, though a bit repetitive at times.

  2. Joy Aditya Minz

    I had mixed feelings. Some parts were hilarious, others were quite disturbing. A complex read.

  3. Dhriti Khurana

    Candide’s journey is wild! I chuckled quite a few times. The ending felt a little abrupt, though.

  4. Satabdi Das

    Found it a bit slow to start, but once it picked up, I enjoyed the ride. Voltaire’s wit is undeniable.

  5. Mukul Tyagi

    This edition is beautiful! Candide’s story is a timeless exploration of optimism and hardship.

  6. Aman Kumawat

    A classic for a reason! Candide’s experiences are both absurd and strangely relatable. Highly recommended.

  7. Aryaman Ahuja

    A decent read, but I didn’t love it as much as I expected. The satire felt a bit overdone at times.

  8. Aashish Agnihotri

    Interesting story, but I wasn’t completely captivated. Some of the philosophical points were a bit heavy-handed.

  9. Rahul Gitte

    Hische’s cover art is gorgeous! The story is a fun, if somewhat bleak, adventure.

  10. Naman Jain

    A witty and fast-paced read! Candide’s optimism is both charming and frustrating. Definitely makes you think.

    Darkly funny and thought-provoking. This edition is a must-have for any literature lover.

    Voltaire’s writing is sharp and insightful. Candide is a character you won’t soon forget.

  13. Rupal Berry

    Candide’s unwavering optimism is inspiring, even amidst chaos. A worthwhile read!

  14. Vaishnavi Rajanna Mahadawad

    A cynical masterpiece. Voltaire spares no one! It’s a bit dark, but undeniably brilliant.

  15. Rithvik Sahini

    A bit too cynical for my taste, but I can see why it’s considered a classic. Well-written, nonetheless.

  16. Deepti

    Voltaire’s satire is sharp as ever. Some parts felt a bit dated, but overall, an enjoyable classic.

  17. Prayush Kishan

    The cover is what drew me in, the story kept me hooked. A great addition to my collection.

  18. Prashant

    Not my favorite classic, but I can appreciate the satire. It’s a good one to discuss in a book club.
