20 reviews for Heart of the World

  1. Priyamvada

    A thrilling journey through the Himalayas! The explorers’ stories were fascinating. Highly recommend!

  2. Prashant Kumar Yadav

    The book started strong, but lost momentum in the middle. Still a good historical account, though.

  3. Rupal

    I was hoping for more on Shangri-La itself. A bit too much focus on the explorers.

  4. Vidhi Kackar

    A captivating tale of exploration and spirituality. The author’s passion shines through every page.

  5. Akritee Prasad Kharwar

    I struggled to get through it. The writing style was too dense for my liking and hard to follow at times.

  6. Devesh Upadhyay

    I found it a bit repetitive at times. Good for a quick read, but not particularly memorable.

  7. Surya Kant Vashisht

    A decent read. I enjoyed the historical context, but some parts felt a bit slow. The Shangri-la mythos was interesting.

  8. Suchanda Samadder

    Absolutely captivating! The blend of history and adventure was perfect. I couldn’t put it down.

  9. Shristi Bagri

    Not bad, but not amazing. A decent book for history buffs, but it lacks excitement.

  10. Yatharth Bhardwaj Bhardwaj

    I loved learning about the history of the area but the mythology aspect was a bit much.

  11. Roshan Kumar

    A thought-provoking book that explored the allure of the unknown. The historical details were impressive.

  12. Safal Raj

    It was alright. I expected something more. Just a slightly above average book.

  13. Ashutosh Mishra

    Amazing research and storytelling! This book transported me to another world.

  14. Anish Aiyappa N V

    A must-read for anyone interested in exploration and mythology. I learned so much!

  15. Hitarth

    A truly inspiring book that celebrates the spirit of adventure. I highly recommend it.

  16. Vishal Gurnani

    Interesting subject matter, but the writing style wasn’t my favorite. Still, worth reading for the historical exploration.

  17. Aadrika Gopal

    Incredible! The author did a fantastic job of weaving together history, myth, and adventure.

  18. Abhishek Kumar Srivastav

    I was expecting more adventure. It’s a bit dry and academic. Okay but not great.

  19. Aniruddha Khohwal

    A beautifully written book that brought the Himalayas to life. The spiritual aspect was really engaging.

  20. Tejas Vinod Dhoke

    It had potential, but it fell short. I think it tried to cover too much ground and felt disjointed.
