    Gaston paints a vivid picture of Nathdvara’s musical landscape. The book could have benefitted from more visuals.

    This book opened my eyes to a new world. The descriptions were captivating. A few more personal stories would have been nice.

    A niche topic, but the author does well explaining the musical tradition. I wish there were more personal stories included.

  11. Antra Kumari –

    A valuable contribution to ethnomusicology. However, the average reader might find it overwhelming. A good resource for scholars.

  12. Abhishek Anand –

    The descriptions are incredible and I found myself transported to the temples of Nathdvara. Some parts felt repetitive.

  13. Lakshay Singhal –

    It got a little hard to follow at times, but overall, I found it to be informative about the musicians and their lives.

  14. Ranjeet Singh Surjeet –

    I enjoyed learning about the kirtankars of Nathdvara. The book is informative, though dense in places. Could use more photos.

  15. Dewangana Singh –

    A good read for those interested in Indian music and religious traditions. Sometimes slow, but rewarding in the end.

  16. Nikunj Singhal –

    A fascinating exploration of music and devotion. Some parts were hard to follow. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  17. Jahnvi Singh –

    I struggled to finish this one. While informative, it lacked the spark I was hoping for. Too focused on details and missed heart.

  18. Harikrishnan P –

    The topic was interesting but the reading was a bit dry, it was well researched book.

  19. Rahul Ghosh –

    A wonderful addition to the study of Indian music! It’s a bit niche, but very well-researched. A bit too dense for casual reading.

  20. Prateek Sahni –

    A deep dive into a little-known musical tradition. Gaston’s passion is evident. Some sections were repetitive. Recommended.

  21. Ratna Harshvardhan Singh –

    Excellent research. Learned a lot. A bit too scholarly for my taste, but still worth reading if you have interest in the topic.

  22. Saurabh Prakhar –

    An interesting, albeit specialized, topic. The author clearly knows her stuff, but the book is not for casual readers.

  23. Abhay Kumar Verma –

    This was a really dull read, and not interesting at all, not for casual readers.

  24. Hemant Kumar –

    A fascinating glimpse into a unique musical world! Gaston’s research is thorough, but at times the writing felt a bit academic. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  25. Prakash Kumar Singh –

    Detailed and informative, but a bit dry. I wish there were more personal anecdotes from the musicians themselves.
