  1. Naveen Kumar

    It was fine, but I think there are better books by her. A little dry.

  2. Sunidhi Govind Kela

    Found it a bit hard to get through. There are some beautiful passages, but it could be tedious.

  3. Rishabh Sonker

    This book is awesome. It gives a deep look at the upbringing of a woman who became iconic! A must read.

  4. Pankaj

    It was a great insight into a brilliant mind. I found it very interesting. A bit too long, though.

  5. Sarvesh

    An insightful memoir! Beauvoir’s writing is captivating, although I struggled with some of the philosophical concepts.

  6. Abhinav Gupta

    I enjoyed learning about Simone de Beauvoir’s childhood. It helped me understand her later works. A bit lengthy at times.

  7. Uddipan Hazarika

    I loved how she described her childhood. It helped me get to know her. I would read again.

  8. Mohammed Asim

    A bit dense, but ultimately rewarding. Beauvoir’s intellectual development is fascinating to witness. Not the easiest read though.

  9. Rohan Jain

    Interesting to read about the upbringing that shaped such a revolutionary thinker. It was slower than I hoped.

  10. Prateek Sharma

    Beauvoir is a brilliant thinker. I enjoyed this memoir even if some parts were a little boring for me.

  11. Syed Saad Ali

    I appreciated Beauvoir’s honesty and vulnerability. Though some parts were less engaging than others.

  12. Maanvi

    A very honest and introspective account of a young woman’s journey to self-discovery. Highly recommended.

  13. Mansi Bharti

    An amazing book that delves into the mind of an incredible thinker. A bit too detailed at points.

  14. Akif M

    De Beauvoir’s writing style is beautiful, and her story is compelling. A must-read for anyone interested in feminist theory.

  15. Ankita Phatak

    A nice read but sometimes felt like she was trying to show off her intelligence, but worth your time.

  16. Nitish Kumar

    A classic memoir that provides a unique perspective on growing up female in a changing world. Some parts were a drag.

  17. Alyn Biju Sahariya S

    This book was alright. I expected more revolutionary content. It was mostly her describing her youth, some parts were relatable.

  18. Kritika Luthra

    A fascinating glimpse into Beauvoir’s early life. Some parts were slow, but overall a worthwhile read for anyone interested in feminist history.

  19. Nishtha Rawat

    Loved it! A very personal look into the life of an amazing woman. I couldn’t put it down. Highly recommended!

  20. Anant Kumar Singh

    A fantastic read. I recommend this book to anyone interested in knowing the life of this feminist.

  21. Akshita Satwal

    Interesting perspective, but I found it slow and somewhat self-indulgent at times. Not my favorite.
