Manasvi’s book reviews

Uneven work, which at its best, rivals and even exceeds the two Alice books in quality. However, at other times, it seems disjointed.

An excellent translation which still glosses over some of the more risque portions of the book. Nevertheless, a great read and a superb collection of short stories.

An excellent book - but it is a condensation of Frazer's entire work. One of the finest (but outdated) works on the origins and study of religion

Goes over the top far too often; otherwise a pungent and penetrating book. However, one cannot and does not sympathise with the main character, i.e the Boss

A charming account of life in the South but it's still a little too rosy. Nevertheless some of Twain's best writing is on display here
