20 reviews for Exaltation of Larks

  1. Utkarsh Kumar

    I enjoyed learning some new collective nouns, but the book felt a bit short and lacked depth.

  2. Pushpendra Gangwar

    A fun, quick read. Great for trivia nights!

  3. Kaiwalya Sanjay Gawande

    A fun concept, but the execution felt a bit dry. I was hoping for more humor or historical context.

  4. Rahul Sonowal

    Okay. Nothing special. Good for a coffee table book, but otherwise, kind of boring.

  5. Sahil Satish Dargad

    A delightful and whimsical journey through the English language!

  6. Ayushi Sharma

    Interesting but a little repetitive after a while. Good for short bursts of reading.

  7. Abhinav Choudhary

    While interesting, the book could have benefited from more illustrations or examples in use.

  8. Saksham Dhawan

    A beautifully curated collection of collective nouns. Perfect for dipping into when you need a little literary pick-me-up.

  9. Suraj Thakur

    Disappointed. Expected more depth. Felt superficial.

  10. Chitransh Singh

    This book is a gem! It is very interesting and the author is really knowledgable. I would highly recommend.

  11. Sayyad Aadil

    Enjoyable, but a bit short. I wish there were more examples and illustrations. Still, a worthwhile addition to my library.

  12. Aman Singh

    Absolutely delightful! I learned so many new things. A must-have for anyone who loves words.

  13. Jayasurya K R

    I absolutely loved learning all the different collective nouns. It’s a great conversation starter!

  14. Tanvi Tyagi

    A pleasant and informative read, though perhaps a bit too niche for a broad audience.

  15. Hrithik Sujil

    I found this book to be quite boring. It was not as interesting as I thought it would be. I will not recommend it.

  16. Kritika Suyal

    A cute book, but I think it could have been longer and more detailed. I was disappointed.

  17. Aniket Sahu

    A charming little book! Some nouns were familiar, others delightfully obscure. A fun, quick read for word nerds.

  18. Vansh Sarraf

    Absolutely charming! A perfect gift for the word lover in your life. Highly recommended.

  19. Kamini Bhandari

    It was good but not great. It was just okay. I did not love it.

  20. Prasad Pandharinath Wagh

    Charming and quirky. Perfect for a gift or a little self-indulgence.
