Title: Give Me Back My Money!
Review: This book was so bad, so poorly written, and so rote (even comical) in its recitation of dry fact that I feel compelled to write also to the (somewhat favorable) editorial reviewers cited above to find out just what drugs they were on. There is an utter disconnect between the mind-numbing recitation of fact and any attempt on the author's part to offer an expert's unique point of view. Argument could be made that India's vibrant history is one of the most vivid and lively subjects one could possibly choose for a book. That the author has somehow turned that country's amazing tale into such a snorer is truly a towering achievement. This book couldn't even be of interest to pure academics, except maybe as a (highly effective) sleeping aid. It's that dry. It's that bad.
