    Thayil’s ‘English’ is a thought-provoking collection. Some poems resonated deeply, while others felt a bit abstract. Overall, a worthwhile read.

    Not quite what I expected. Some of the poems were a bit too dense for my liking. Still, I appreciate the effort.

  3. Kumari Sakshi

    I was captivated by Thayil’s insights. The poems are rich with imagery and emotion. A book I’ll return to again and again.

    This collection is a gem. The poems are beautifully crafted and deeply moving. Thayil is a master of his craft.

    A challenging but rewarding read. Thayil’s poetry requires patience, but it’s worth the effort. Thought-provoking.

    A mixed bag for me. There are moments of brilliance, but also moments where I struggled to connect with the poems.

    I am not really a poetry fan, but i found this book to be intriguing. Some parts where confusing to read.

    I had high hopes, but was somewhat disappointed. While some poems stood out, many felt unremarkable. An okay read.
