    A compelling narrative that brings the past to life. It evokes empathy. The conclusion could have been stronger.

    An eye-opening read about a dark chapter in history. The writing is clear and engaging. A bit lengthy for my taste.

    An important book, but difficult to stomach. It portrays the famine’s impact vividly. Some sections were slow-paced.

    A grim reminder of colonial atrocities. ‘Hungry Bengal’ is a vital historical document. The maps are very helpful.

    Disturbing but essential. ‘Hungry Bengal’ sheds light on forgotten suffering. Some arguments felt one-sided.

    Revealing and shocking! A must-read to understand the historical context. Some parts were repetitive, though.

    A thought-provoking and disturbing account of the Bengal famine. It is well-researched but quite depressing to read.

    An unflinching look at a devastating period. It challenges conventional narratives. A must-read for history buffs.

    The book is informative but overly detailed. It could have been more concise. The accounts are heartbreaking.

  15. Akanksh Anand –

    A powerful narrative that is hard to put down. It gives voice to the voiceless. A significant contribution to history.

    The stories shared are very heartfelt and informative. The author wrote this book with intensive details. I enjoyed reading it.

  17. Deepanshu Anand –

    The book is informative and well-researched. However, the writing style is a bit dry. Overall, a worthwhile read.
