  1. Sakshi Agarwal

    I was pleasantly surprised! Ovid’s writing is timeless. A must-read for anyone interested in classical literature and love.

  2. Shrey Kumar Singh

    A mixed bag. Some poems were excellent, others were just okay. I liked the insights into Roman beauty standards.

  3. Naveen Kumar S

    Ovid’s wit shines through! Though, some of the advice in ‘The Art of Love’ feels quite dated now. Still, an enjoyable read.

  4. Jyotiraditya Chauhan

    Some poems were truly captivating, others felt a bit repetitive. Overall, an interesting glimpse into Roman perspectives on love.

  5. Aditya Jain

    A fascinating peek into Roman culture. A little dry at times, but worth the read for the historical value. Enjoyed ‘Cures for Love’!

  6. Aman Aryan

    I expected more passion. While there were moments of brilliance, it didn’t fully resonate with me. The historical context was fascinating though!

  7. Ankit

    Ovid’s poetry is both insightful and playful. I particularly enjoyed the humorous tone of ‘The Art of Love.’ Highly recommended.

  8. Abhimanyu Anurag

    It was okay. Didn’t blow me away, but it wasn’t terrible either. I don’t think I’ll reread it anytime soon.
