    Book was a little too long. However, the author describes well the Tamil, Sinhala, and English and makes you want to learn more about Sri Lanka.

  9. Sweta Yadav

    Good resource for learning about the language, but it got too wordy and hard to follow. The author could have cut it down for easier readability.

    It was alright. Some chapters were boring and dull. But the writer definitely showed passion and great knowledge of the topic.

    An okay book. Explains language but gets boring at times. It could have been more entertaining. I think author could have included some real stories.

  12. Raman

    The writer explains the languages so well. It opened my eyes to Sri Lankan writers and their works. I loved the references to stories and history.

  13. Soujanya Tiwari

    A fascinating dive into Sri Lanka’s languages. I enjoyed the exploration of Tamil and Sinhala literature, but found the English section a bit dense. Overall, a worthwhile read.

  14. Pooja Beniwal

    I was hoping for more personal stories, less academic analysis. Still, I learned a lot about Sri Lanka. It was not bad for the price.

  15. Sana Rehman

    A bit academic for my taste, but I appreciate the author’s effort to unpack Sri Lanka’s complex history through its languages. Could have been more engaging.

  16. Rahul Rinwa

    Ravinthiran’s book offers a unique perspective on Sri Lankan identity. Some chapters were captivating, others less so. Still, a valuable contribution to postcolonial studies.
