    The information is amazing, but it can be a little dry. The topic itself saved the rating!

    A fascinating look at Majuli’s mask tradition! Singh’s research is thorough, but the writing is a bit dry at times. Overall, a valuable read for those interested in Indian culture.

    Really in depth on masks. It is probably for a niche audience, but does a great job explaining. It also could use some photos.
