What readers are saying about this book

Summarized by Pango AI

PangoBooks readers have mixed feelings about this controversial book. While some appreciate its layered irony and satire, and consider it a compelling counterpart to classics like "Crime and Punishment," others find it excessively graphic and disturbing. A common sentiment is that the book contains gratuitous violence, misogynistic and racist elements, and verbose descriptions that make it a challenging and at times tedious read. Many readers prefer the movie adaptation, praising it for distilling the essence of the book into a more engaging and tightly executed narrative. However, for fans of dark satire and unreliable narrators, the novel's brutal commentary and intense protagonist offer a unique, if unsettling, experience.
