  1. Gouri Sreekumar

    Informative and thought provoking, but slightly repetitive.

  2. Shivam Prakash Suryawanshi

    A classic for a reason. This book is a great exploration of the human experience and a must-read for mythology enthusiasts.

  3. Gagandeep Singh

    I had to read it twice to fully grasp all the arguments! Will read again soon.

  4. Nishant Vikas Chaturvedi

    This book made me think. I would highly recommend it to readers interested in psychology.

  5. Arun Kumar Singh

    I enjoyed it, but some of it was hard to follow. I felt it jumped around in places.

  6. Abhishek Agrawal

    It wasn’t bad, but I was expecting more. It didn’t captivate me the way other books of this nature have.

  7. Harsh Singh

    A bit too heavy on Freudian concepts for my preference. However, still an important read.

  8. Sindhu Raj

    Machen’s insights are fascinating. It was a bit dry at times, but the core ideas are worth the effort.

  9. Vidhi Gupta

    Well written, but I struggled to fully connect with the material. It was a bit too academic for my taste.

  10. Shambhavi Upadhyay

    Interesting ideas but not groundbreaking. The writing is a bit dated. A decent read.

  11. Vishal Soni

    The book started strong, but the latter half felt repetitive. Overall, a good introduction to the topic.

  12. Supriya Sahu

    A groundbreaking book about the influence of myths. Machen is one of the great writers of our time.

  13. Keshav Singhal

    A thought-provoking read! Some concepts were a bit dense, but overall, it offered a fresh perspective on myths.

  14. Naveen Kumar S

    Challenging but rewarding. This book requires careful reading, but the insights are invaluable.

  15. Zaid Anas

    A classic read that stands the test of time. Machen has a way of expressing theories that is easy to understand.

  16. Srishti

    Interesting theories presented in an easy-to-read manner. Machen’s book is a brilliant masterpiece.

  17. Abirbhav Bhaumik

    It was okay. Nothing really stood out, but it was a perfectly acceptable read. I probably won’t read again.

  18. Navya Dham

    An incredible book that dives deep into the human psyche. A must read for any serious reader.

  19. Piyush

    Machen’s work is always engaging. I really enjoyed his perspectives on the psychological impact of myths. Highly recommended!

  20. Kunapuli Venkata Sai Sandeep

    I think some of his theories could be disproved but it was an enjoyable read.

  21. Aditya

    A good introduction to the subject, well-written and clear. I especially loved how Machen linked everything to everyday life.

  22. Aakanksha Sharma

    I found the book repetitive and dull. I think there are better books on the market about mythology.

  23. Kartikey Sauliyal

    A bit too theoretical for my taste. I prefer a more narrative approach to mythology. Still, it had some interesting points.

  24. Sagnik Chakravarty

    I enjoyed the exploration of myths, but the connection to dreams felt stretched at times. Still worth reading if you like mythology.

  25. Amit Yadav

    I thought it was okay, not great. I think there may be better books on mythology to read.
