Manasvi’s book reviews

Sylvie and Bruno
4
Uneven work, which at its best, rivals and even exceeds the two Alice books in quality. However, at other times, it seems disjointed.

The Arabian Nights Entertainments
5
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.

The Golden Bough
5
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 One of the finest (but outdated) works on the origins and study of religion

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
5
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
