    A bit slow to start, but it picks up. The dialogue is sharp and the characters are well-developed.

    A good and thought-provoking read!

  18. Inderpreet Singh

    Kingsley Amis’ writing is sharp and engaging. The storyline kept me hooked. Solid read!

  19. Akshat Ruhela

    Very funny, but somewhat dated in its views. Still, a worthwhile read for the humor alone.

  20. Ishan Dhingra

    A decent read, but nothing extraordinary. The humor is subtle, and the story is fairly predictable.

  21. Priya Bharti

    Disappointed. The story didn’t fully capture my attention, and the ending was underwhelming.

    Amusing and slightly scandalous! Amis captures the era well. The characters are flawed, but the plot meanders a bit.
