17 reviews for A Brief History of Seven Killings

  1. Ekjot Singh Khurana

    I wanted to love it, but the constant shifts in perspective made it difficult to fully invest in the story. Just okay.

  2. Anubhav Sharma

    Too many characters and not enough development for most of them. It felt like a history lesson more than a novel.

  3. Prathmesh Prakash Pampatwar

    Intense and gritty. I struggled with the dialect initially, but once I got used to it, I was completely immersed. Not for the faint of heart.

  4. Ishwar Sharma

    A must-read for anyone interested in Jamaican history and culture. The writing is brilliant and the story is captivating.

  5. Akash Roy

    A powerful exploration of history and violence. The author doesn’t shy away from the dark side, making it a memorable experience.

  6. Chaitanya Vishwajeet Bhave

    A stunning achievement. A gripping and unforgettable story that stayed with me long after I finished reading.

  7. Gitansh Bhola

    Overrated. The complex narrative felt convoluted and I couldn’t connect with most of the characters. Disappointing.

  8. Shubh Walia

    The dialect was challenging, but the story’s raw power made it worth the effort. A truly unique reading experience.

  9. Kushmita Sharma

    Brutal and unflinching. It took me a while to get through, but I appreciated the author’s honesty and unflinching portrayal.

  10. Shahad Hanan K

    Loved the vivid depiction of Jamaica and the music scene. Some parts were unnecessarily graphic, though. Overall, a good book.

  11. Komal Kumari

    A bit too violent for my taste, but I can’t deny James’ talent. The atmosphere and characters are well-developed.

  12. Ringdao Nunisa

    Ambitious, but ultimately didn’t resonate with me. Too many characters and storylines to keep track of. I got lost.

  13. Aditi Saurav

    An extraordinary and immersive read! The characters are complex, and the story pulls you in from the first page.

  14. Prashant

    Absolutely brilliant! A powerful and moving story that explores the complexities of Jamaican history with sensitivity and insight.

  15. Aldrina Aishwarya D Rozario

    James’ writing is phenomenal. The multiple perspectives offer a rich, though sometimes overwhelming, view of Jamaica’s turbulent past.

  16. Anant Agarwal

    Did not enjoy. Too long, too confusing, and too violent. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re really into this genre.

  17. Mani Prakash

    A sprawling epic, a bit hard to follow at times, but the vibrant characters and raw energy kept me hooked. A challenging but rewarding read.
