  1. Sugat Subhash Sondavale

    A bit slow-paced, but ultimately a worthwhile read. Mr. Bridge’s stoicism is both fascinating and frustrating.

  2. Varun Dwivedi

    A classic for a reason. I had mixed feelings about Mr. Bridge but found myself reflecting on his choices. Recommended!

  3. Nitin Goyal

    A very compelling read. The writing is superb, and the themes are thought-provoking. Prepare for some emotional turmoil though!

  4. Jarpula Ajay Simha

    It’s a beautifully written book that explores the complexities of family. Mr. Bridge is a complex character, but I wish there was more character development.

  5. Debojyoti Sarkar

    Not my favorite. The characters felt distant and unrelatable. I struggled to connect with the story.

  6. Muneela Yarrabathina

    It has a slow start, but the payoff is worth it. The ending is both poignant and heartbreaking. It leaves you pondering.

  7. Aditya Bhamboo

    I appreciated the glimpse into the past, but it didn’t fully grab me. It felt a bit too detached and unemotional.

  8. Raman

    This book really made me think about relationships and expectations. It was a great book, very captivating.

  9. Abhishek Prasad

    I found it quite insightful! It really portrays the societal expectations of the time. His rigidness was too much at times though.

  10. Paras Angi

    The book dragged on. The societal expectations were overwhelming and depressing.

  11. Aparajit Singh

    I enjoyed the historical aspect and the exploration of family dynamics. It’s a subtly powerful and understated book that may not appeal to all.

  12. Rahul Gitte

    A good book for those who enjoy character-driven stories. Mr. Bridge’s internal struggles are well-portrayed. However, I thought it was slow.
