    An ambitious project, but the author occasionally gets lost in the minutiae.

    I have never read such a detailed global history of any river. This book changed my perspective.

  4. Yash Dubey –

    Hooghly’s global impact is undeniable, and this book does a good job highlighting it. A bit dry in places, though.

  5. Sohel Mubarak Sheikh –

    While meticulously researched, the book is more academic than accessible.

  6. Raghvendra Pratap Singh –

    I couldn’t put it down! Ivermee brings the Hooghly to life with vivid descriptions and compelling stories.

  7. Dipankar Adhikari –

    A bit dense, but packed with information about the Hooghly’s influence on global events.

  8. Vansh Gupta –

    Though the content is nice, I think the editing could have been better.

  9. Parakh Agrawal –

    The writing style lacked flair and emotions. It felt like I am reading some research paper!

  10. Pankaj Kumar Sharma –

    The book dragged in certain chapters, but overall, a worthwhile exploration of a significant river.

  11. Srishti Gupta –

    A comprehensive history, but it could have used more maps and illustrations. Still, informative.

    The book felt disjointed. Jumping between eras was sometimes confusing. Interesting info but delivery was average.

    The book is insightful. A good, informative reading, but not exactly gripping.

    A fascinating read about a river I knew little about. Ivermee’s research is impressive, but sometimes the details felt overwhelming.

  18. Subhajoy Datta –

    I loved learning about the Hooghly’s role in trade and colonialism. Well-written and engaging!
