  1. Siddhant Gautam

    Columbus is a mixed bag. Bergreen captures the ambition well, but it sometimes feels like it glosses over the darker aspects. An okay read.

  2. Kaustubh Manojkumar Hambarde

    Columbus: A good overview of Columbus’s life, but I wish there was more on the consequences of his voyages. Readable but lacking depth.

  3. Rashi Srivastava

    While informative, the book felt a little long. Some sections could have been trimmed for a faster pace. Still, a decent read.

  4. Kshitij Verma

    Columbus’s story is interesting, but this biography didn’t quite capture my attention. It felt a bit impersonal.

  5. Ishan Srivastava

    A well-written biography that’s hard to put down. Columbus’s flaws are on full display. I enjoyed learning about his voyages and their impact.

  6. Vipin Kumar

    I expected more insights. Felt like a rehash of familiar narratives. Not impressed.

  7. Sumit Kumar Sahu

    It’s hard to ignore the impact of the voyages, but Bergreen does a nice job exploring the man. A very worthwhile read.

  8. Ankush Kumar Singh

    I learned a lot about Columbus, but the writing style felt a little dry. The book is a solid introduction, but not amazing.

  9. Khushal Singh

    Bergreen does an amazing job with this biography! A must-read for anyone interested in history and exploration. Highly recommended.

    Excellent biography! The research is impeccable, and the storytelling is captivating. I couldn’t put it down!

  14. Sushant

    A balanced look at Columbus, covering both his achievements and his failures. I feel like I really understand him now.

  15. Himanshu

    I was hoping for a more nuanced approach. The book felt too focused on glorifying Columbus. Disappointed with this read.

  16. Rajarshi Chanda

    Columbus is interesting, but the author seems to admire him too much. There could have been more critical analysis.

  17. Siyon Khosla

    Worth reading if you’re interested in Columbus. Although, the moral complexity around his voyages is well depicted.

  18. Mazhar Abdul Azeez

    Informative and engaging! Bergreen brings Columbus to life. The book does a great job of showing all sides of the explorer.
