  1. Sahil Lamba

    I appreciated the historical context, but the blatant falsehoods were a bit much for me.

  2. Deba Kumar Narzary

    A fascinating look at medieval beliefs, though wildly inaccurate! Entertaining, but take it with a huge grain of salt.

    An odd and somewhat bewildering book. Historically interesting, but also quite strange.
