    It was difficult to keep track of all the people mentioned. It felt disjointed and too academic to be interesting. It’s informative, but not enjoyable.

  7. Manas Singh –

    Found the book insightful regarding the cultural and historical context of Mount Kailas. However, it occasionally felt a bit too focused on academic details.

  8. Gauraang Gupta –

    A fascinating deep dive into Kailas. McKay’s research is impressive, but at times it felt a bit too academic for casual reading. Still a worthwhile read for those interested.

  9. Mohit Kumar –

    While informative, I found the book a bit dry. The historical analysis is thorough, but it lacks a certain narrative flow. Good for research, not leisure reading.

  10. Mahima Singh –

    A comprehensive exploration of Kailas’s history. The writing is a bit dense, but the information is invaluable for serious scholars.

  11. Sujeet Kumar –

    McKay masterfully weaves together different historical threads to create a rich tapestry of Kailas’s past. A truly impressive work of scholarship.
