8 reviews for A Paradise Built In Hell

  1. Anjali Yadav

    Solnit’s writing is captivating! This book opened my eyes to the resilience of the human spirit and the unexpected communities formed in times of crisis.

  2. Padole Rushabh Anil

    A bit academic, but full of fascinating accounts of people coming together. It challenges common assumptions about human nature during calamities.

  3. Amitrakshar Sanyal

    A thought-provoking look at disaster response. Some parts were a bit slow, but overall, a worthwhile read about human connection. The author offers a unique perspective.

  4. Sai Srinivas Chinnam

    This book changed my perspective on disasters. The stories were powerful and the analysis insightful. Highly recommend for anyone interested in sociology.

  5. Prashant Kumar Yadav

    The book has strong argument and historical context but fails to engage me. I think the author has missed an important point.

  6. Ritik Sharma

    While insightful, it felt repetitive at times. The core message about community in disaster is powerful, but could have been delivered more concisely.

  7. Arin Jain

    Interesting concept, but I found the writing a bit dry at times. The historical examples were compelling, showing the unexpected camaraderie in crises.

  8. Arshiya

    Amazing! This book is really about finding hope. The book explores the bright side of disaster and has compelling stories of survival.
