A review by shayan_reads
Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh
5.0
Review-2020 (reread) - 5 stars
I wanted to read the second and third parts of this series and thought I would refresh my memories of this book first. I enjoyed the characters way more this time around. In my first encounter, the tragic parts of this story really overwhelmed me and I missed out on appreciating the humor. But this time around Babu Nobkissin Pander tickled all my funny bones. I highly recommend this series to anyone out there regardless of generic preferences.
Review- 2016 - 4 stars
Read it as part of my literature of contact, comparative lit course. It is remarkable in its lucidity and attention to detail. I can not even imagine the amount of research that goes into writing a book like this. Character developments could definitely have been better but I love Ghosh's rendition of the landscape and his experimentation with the language. The book ended very abruptly, so might as well get a hold of the entire trilogy before you begin this journey.
