The book showed different facets of life. While the translation was readable, it lacked the finesse to fully capture the emotions of the original work, but the narrative was good.

A decent read. Harishchandra’s story is compelling, but the translation felt a bit clunky at times. Some parts were truly inspiring, while others dragged. Overall, it’s worth exploring for the cultural significance.

An interesting glimpse into ancient Indian values. The translation is accessible, and Harishchandra’s dedication is admirable. However, some aspects felt repetitive and preachy.

Not what I expected. The story of Harishchandra is definitely inspiring and motivating, but the translation felt a bit dry. It was not as engaging as I wanted to read.

I was deeply moved by Harishchandra’s unwavering commitment. The book provides a fascinating look at social and political dynamics of the time. A must-read for history buffs!
