  1. Sheetal Nimaliya

    An excellent book! The author clearly knows his stuff, and the narrative is engaging. Highly recommended. Learned a lot!

  2. Ayush Rai

    The book is a little dense, and the average reader may find some chapters hard to digest. Overall a good and insightful read.

  3. Pooja Sharma

    Pauketat does a fantastic job bringing Cahokia to life. The details are compelling, though sometimes a bit dry. Overall, very informative!

  4. Hemanth Lanka

    While the subject matter is interesting, the writing style can be dense. It requires a bit of effort to get through.

  5. Srishti Rana

    This book opened my eyes to a whole new world. The author’s passion for the subject shines through every page. Great read!

  6. Shubham Goyal

    I found some of the interpretations a bit speculative, but the book is still a valuable contribution to understanding Cahokia.

  7. Rishabh Choudhary

    A decent overview of Cahokia, but I wished there was more archaeological evidence presented. Still, a good starting point for learning.

  8. Pooja Beniwal

    An eye-opening account of Cahokia, detailing the history, culture, and mysteries of this ancient city. I would highly recommend it.

  9. Aniket Birda

    Interesting subject matter, but it felt like it was dragging on and on. I nearly gave up on finishing this book.

  10. Kovid Soni

    A bit repetitive at times, but the overall content is great. It’s a good introduction to Cahokia’s history and culture.

  11. Rupal Berry

    Well-researched and comprehensive, but could benefit from more visual aids (maps, illustrations). Still, a solid effort.

  12. Ankita Halder

    A well-written and insightful exploration of Cahokia. I particularly enjoyed the sections on the religious practices.

  13. Neha Lahariya

    Fascinating! I had no idea such a complex civilization existed in North America. This book is a must-read for history buffs.
