12 reviews for Blonde Roots

  1. Dhruv Sharma

    A must-read for anyone interested in social justice. ‘Blonde Roots’ offers a fresh perspective on a difficult topic. Some scenes were hard to stomach, but necessary.

  2. Kartik Dhaka

    I appreciate the author’s attempt to tackle such a sensitive subject, but I didn’t find the story particularly compelling. It felt a bit heavy-handed.

  3. Kanishk Khandelwal

    While the premise is interesting, the story felt underdeveloped. I wanted more depth and nuance. The writing was decent, but nothing special.

  4. Tanya Adil Mogrelia

    Powerful and disturbing. ‘Blonde Roots’ is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading. It’s not always an easy read, but it’s definitely worth it.

  5. Naman Singh

    This book really made me uncomfortable, in a good way. It flips the script on history and forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about power. Highly recommended.

  6. Anurag Agrawal

    Intriguing concept, but the execution felt lacking. The world-building was interesting, but the characters weren’t very engaging. A decent read overall.

  7. Krithik Rohan Sankaran Yuvaraj

    A thought-provoking read, ‘Blonde Roots’ offers a unique perspective on slavery. The premise is jarring, but it makes you think. Some parts felt a bit slow, though.

  8. Sarthak Beniwal

    The premise is fascinating, and the book does a good job of exploring the complexities of race and slavery. I enjoyed it, but found it a bit preachy at times.

  9. Kartikey Sauliyal

    This book challenges your preconceptions and makes you question everything you thought you knew about race. A bit slow in places, but impactful.

  10. Sreepada Manissha

    A unique take on a dark period in history. ‘Blonde Roots’ is both unsettling and insightful. I wish the ending had been a bit more satisfying.

  11. Ankita Shaw

    H.E. Bates’s storytelling is captivating. Blonde Roots is a powerful exploration of reversed roles in slavery, a story that lingers in the mind, prompting reflection on prejudice.

  12. Lakshyaa Anand

    An interesting and original concept that is well-executed. This book is thought-provoking and definitely worth reading. I really enjoyed and recommend.
