    Enjoyable read. It got a bit slow in the middle, but the ending picked up nicely. I appreciate it.

    I like the book and will recommend to my friends but a better cover photo can give more justice.

  4. Abhishek Gargvansi –

    A bit too focused on dates and events, and less on the human stories, but good effort.
