यसको रेटिङ्ग एकदम थोरै थियो। त्यहि नि मदन पुरस्कार पाएको भनेर मैले यो उपन्यास किनेर पढ्ने हिम्मत गरें। शुरुवात त जोशको साथ गरें, तर उत्कर्षमा पुग्न नपाई सब जोस ठण्डा भयो। किताब सानो छ तर यसले ल्याउने उच्चाटको पहाड छिचोल्न मलाई निकै सकस भयो। शुरुवातको २०-२५ पान्ना पढ्दा नपढ्दै मेरो धर्यको बाँध फुटेर छताछुल्ल भयो।

अरु कुनै दिन, भविष्यमा जुन बेला बेसी उच्चाट लाग्छ, त्यो बेला हिम्मत गरेर फेरि पढ्ने सुरसार गर्छु। तर अहिलेलाई यो किताब पढेर समय खेर फाल्न चाहिनँ।

A classic with such a poignant and astute social satire. I just loved the concept behind the book. It somewhat resembles the idea of 1984 by George Orwell but reroutes its plot half way through the story. Although, the writer doesn't seem to use active imagination in developing the subplots or character development, it still has a solid straight forward tone to what writers want to say.
