  1. Shreya Vatsa

    A mixed bag. The writing is lovely, but I struggled with the pacing. It was hard to keep track of the numerous characters, but still an insightful read.

  2. Pranay Yadav Yadav

    This book painted a vivid picture of the landscape and the people. However, I needed more character development.

  3. Arshit Singh

    The book was too slow and boring to continue to read and follow. The book needs to be more engaging.

  4. Yash Kumar

    Such a great book and I loved reading it. I will gift it to my friend.

  5. Vishwajeet Kumar

    This book was beautifully written with such great care and I enjoyed it a lot

  6. Nishant Sharma

    A thoughtful exploration, but I wish it had delved deeper into the social context.

  7. Aditya Singh

    A beautiful exploration of Lalan Fakir’s life. Gangopadhyay’s prose is enchanting, but I wished for more historical context. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  8. Yashika Sharma

    Gangopadhyay truly brings Lalan Fakir to life! A bit romanticized, perhaps, but deeply moving. Loved the exploration of his music.

  9. Rahul Ratra

    It can get boring, if someone is not interested in Fakir philosophy.

  10. Soumyo Pani

    Well written and researched. The story of the mystic poet comes alive.

    Good book but can be improved to create a more interesting plot.

  12. Akhil Sharma

    An excellent introduction to Lalan Fakir. The author created interesting narrative. Highly recommended!

  13. Ishank Garg

    An enjoyable fictionalized account of Lalan Fakir. I found the historical backdrop a little vague, but the core message resonated.

  14. Aayush Kumar

    Fakir is a well-written book that kept me engaged throughout. Although, at times, the story felt slightly disjointed, but I learned so much!

  15. Rahul Sonowal

    Fakir offers a glimpse into a fascinating philosopher’s world. Some parts felt slow, but the insights into Lalan’s teachings were rewarding.

  16. Bhukya Sharun Rathod

    A good start to the topic of Fakir philosophy. However, it needed more editing. Overall good.
