Reseñas

Disappointing


(2 stars)

A lot of stuff is inaccurate and lacks factual evidence. In the chapter on origin of hinduism the author tells what hinduism is but doesn't say much about its origin. It would have been better if the chronology was somehow maintained in the book. I had high hopes but was disappointed in the end.


(4 stars)

The book is clear and detailed, an introduction to India religious landscape. It is well declamated. On the other hand is slightly dry, and too detailed. Interesting but sometimes too long a bit boring.
