    Interesting subject matter, but the writing style is a bit dated. Still, a good introduction to the village gods of South India. Worth a read for those interested in anthropology.

    A very detailed account, almost overwhelmingly so. Some prior knowledge of South Indian culture would be helpful. Still, very informative.

  3. Aman Chouksey –

    An okay read. It can be a little dry, but overall it delivers on its premise. Don’t expect too much entertainment value though, it’s quite academic.
