    A beautiful exploration of Banaras. Steinbeck captures the city’s essence, but sometimes it felt a bit surface-level. Still a worthwhile read for those curious about Indian culture.

    Not a bad book, but it dragged on for too long. Some parts were interesting, but overall, it was a bit boring for me.
