  1. Kalamkar Pratik Purushottam –

    Good overview, but I was hoping for more on the health aspects. Still, a solid historical account of sugar’s global journey.

  2. Abhishek Kumar Nishad –

    Interesting subject matter, but the book felt a little academic. I learned a lot, but it wasn’t always an easy read. Good, but not great.

  3. Padole Rushabh Anil –

    Bosma does a great job covering years of sugar. It’s comprehensive, if a little dry at times. Worth it if you’re interested in history.

  4. Anupama Singh –

    A bit overwhelming in its scope. I appreciated the detail, but sometimes felt lost in the specifics. Still, a valuable contribution.

  5. Swikriti Toppo –

    Highly recommend! This book opened my eyes to the immense power sugar has held throughout history. Very well-researched and engaging.

  6. Reetish Mohan Panigrahy –

    Fantastic! Bosma connects the dots in a way that’s both insightful and disturbing. This book is essential reading for our times.

  7. Siddharth Pawdia –

    A fascinating look at sugar’s global impact. A bit dense at times, but overall very informative. Changed how I see that spoonful!

  8. Harshit Soni –

    This book is an eye-opener! Sugar’s impact is far greater than I imagined. Prepare to rethink your diet and world history.

  9. Mrityunjay Singh –

    While informative, I found the book somewhat repetitive at times. The historical scope is impressive, but the writing could be more lively.

  10. Jiju M Santhosh –

    An ambitious project that mostly succeeds. Be prepared for a deep dive into the complex world of sugar. It has some drag at times, but the impact is there.

  11. Tanishq Kohli –

    I enjoyed learning about sugar’s influence on politics and trade. Some parts were slow, but the overall message was powerful and important.

  12. Niharika Srivastava –

    A worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of food and its impact on society. Expect a detailed and scholarly approach.
