    Loved the nature writing! Thoreau’s prose is stunning. Some of the philosophical stuff was over my head, but still enjoyed it.

  5. Viren Mukhi

    Thoreau at his best! Philosophical and insightful. A must-read for nature lovers and deep thinkers.

  6. Mayank Joshi

    Not really my cup of tea. I found it boring. I couldn’t connect with the writing style, it felt slow.

  7. Rahul Singh

    A bit too dense and philosophical for me. I was expecting more of a straightforward travelogue.

  8. Aryan Arora

    The blend of travel and philosophy is intriguing. At times slow-paced, but full of profound insights. Worth the time.

    Enjoyable overall, though some sections felt a bit like a lecture. The nature descriptions were the highlight for me.

    Amazing book. The way Thoreau can evoke nature in my mind with his words alone is amazing.

  12. Adarsh Akula

    A unique blend of nature writing and philosophical reflection. Some parts were a bit heavy, but overall a great read.

  13. Tanisha Kumari

    I appreciated the insights, although at times the writing felt a bit dry. A good, thought-provoking read.

  14. Sanchita Agarwal

    A bit slow-paced for my taste. I appreciated the historical context, but wished there was more focus on the river journey itself.

  15. Nakul Awasthi

    A reflective read, though sometimes meandering. Thoreau’s observations on nature are beautiful, but the historical tangents felt a bit dense. Overall, a worthwhile experience.

  16. Vikas

    Thoreau’s observations are stunning! I found myself highlighting so many passages. A true classic.

    A difficult read. I was unable to finish it, as it was not for me.

    It was alright. I couldn’t connect with the writing style, but I could see the value for some.

    Thoreau’s prose is amazing! This book is more than just a travelogue; it’s a journey of self-discovery. Highly recommend!

    Found it a bit preachy at times. I did enjoy the descriptions of the river and surrounding landscapes, though.

  22. Sharayu Hitesh Vyavahare

    I was hoping for more river adventure. The philosophical tangents were interesting but often distracting from the main narrative.
