  1. Piyush Raj

    I’m still trying to figure out what I just read. It’s definitely unconventional, but I’m not sure I fully grasped it. Interesting but difficult.

  2. Prachi

    A challenging read, but ultimately rewarding. Burroughs pushes boundaries, though it can be dense at times. Not for everyone, but an important work.

  3. Tanishq Goyal

    Burroughs’s writing is definitely unique and visionary, though at times inaccessible. Worth a read if you’re prepared.

  4. Gurleen Kaur

    A mind-blowing experience! Burroughs challenges everything you think you know about reality. Be prepared for something different.

  5. Prasannajit Sahoo

    This book can be hard to follow, however, the themes touched on were quite interesting. I would read again.

  6. Achyuth Balakrishnan

    A difficult but ultimately fascinating work. Burroughs’s style is unique and thought-provoking, but prepare to be challenged.

  7. Ayush Rahul Patel

    If you like books that push boundaries, then you’ll love ‘The Soft Machine.’ It is a truly unique experience.

  8. Ashish Kumar

    I found it interesting and strange. The novel has lots of symbolism, but at times, it was too much for me to comprehend.

  9. Harshit Tiwari

    A literary masterpiece. Burroughs’s vision is unparalleled, and ‘The Soft Machine’ is a testament to his genius. Highly recommended.

  10. Prashant Pradumna Pandey

    A challenging read. At times, it felt like I was sifting through randomness. Still, there are some powerful moments.

  11. Anchit Ambesh

    A wild ride, but not always a pleasant one. Burroughs’s prose is dense and challenging, but rewarding for dedicated readers.

  12. Vimlesh Pathak

    Revolutionary and disturbing. ‘The Soft Machine’ is a must-read for those interested in counter-culture literature. It’s not easy, but it’s powerful.

  13. Vineet Chaudhary

    An important book, though quite dense and experimental, so be warned. ‘The Soft Machine’ really makes you think.

  14. Rupanjan Das

    Mind-bending and experimental. ‘The Soft Machine’ is a wild ride. I loved the prose, but some sections felt disjointed. Still, a worthwhile experience.

  15. Parvez Khalek

    Definitely not for the faint of heart! ‘The Soft Machine’ is an experimental and challenging read, but worth it.

  16. Saurabh Singh

    Too fragmented and experimental for me. I admire Burroughs’s ambition, but I found the book to be ultimately unreadable.

  17. Prasasth Peter Varigeti

    I was completely captivated by the unique world Burroughs created. One of my all-time favorite books!

  18. Sumit Bahuguna

    Burroughs at his most fragmented. I appreciated the anti-colonial themes, but the narrative was too chaotic for my taste.
