    A powerful novel about loss and disillusionment. The ending is particularly haunting.

    Waugh’s best! So dark and funny at the same time, the story stays with you.

    Waugh’s satire is biting. Tony’s journey is heartbreaking and absurd. Highly recommended.

  8. Gaurav Singh –

    A brilliant satire, though a bit depressing. The Amazonian section is unforgettable.

  9. Tani Gupta –

    A Handful of Dust is a classic for a reason. A bit slow at times, but worth the read.

  10. Name –

    Waugh’s writing is sharp, but I found Tony’s naivety frustrating. The ending was bleak.

  11. Abhinav Choudhary –

    A bit slow to start, but it picks up in the second half. A good, thought-provoking read.

  12. Pragya Singh –

    Found it a bit too cynical for my taste. The prose is excellent though.

  13. Sankalp Mahato –

    A well written satire and dark humour. The author’s writing is engaging.

  14. Satyam Chaudhary –

    Darkly humorous and thought-provoking. Not a light read, but rewarding.

    Excellent satire on English society in the early th century. The ending is unforgettable.

  16. Bhavya Dhanda –

    The characters are well-developed, and the plot is interesting. I enjoyed this book.

  17. Gowri Krishna V R –

    The humor is too dry for me. The story is also very depressing.

  18. Rishabh Raj Harsh –

    The ending left me with a lot of feelings. The book shows a man with everything to lose.

  19. Ishika Mandal –

    A bit uneven. Some parts were brilliant, others less engaging.

  20. Akshit Goel –

    I was expecting more humor. Still a good book, but not my favorite.

    The book is depressing, the main character frustrated me, but it is still a classic.
