Few top reviews about this book in Amazon:
1) By Mallajeet Sonowal: This novel is a tale of love, a tale of friendship and a tale of re- incarnation. Written by Bhubanmohan Baruah (pen-name - Kanchan Baruah), first published in 1945. This book has continued to amaze people till date. I have heard about this book long time back when i was in school or college . every person that i have encountered who have read this novel used to tell me that its pitty that i have deprieved myself from reading this beautifully written novel so far. Anyways, in August, 2018 finally i told myself that i should read this to understand why people are so crazy about this novel which was written more than 65 years ago. Now i am halfway cross the book and i realized that what i have been missing so far . This novel is so addictive and you won't feel how time flies by once you start reading. This novel is a gem in assamese literature. Hope one day a great director'll notice this masterpiece and make a blockbuster bigger than Baahubali , i bet it'll.Regarding the delivery charge: You are charging almost equivalent to the book price to deliver the item. So those 5 stars are only for the book and the author and zero star for the vendor. The delivery price should not hv been more than ₹50-60/- .
2) Kalpa Jyoti Bhuyan: I am not a official buyer here. I have read this book 8/9 years ago. N may hv read 3/4 times since then. I am writing this just to inform the people who didn't read assamese books before and now want to read some of them. This is not actually a book for beginner, but if you understand the language well then there is no problem. This is undoubtedly one of the best and most popular books in assamese literature. The story has every ingredient of awesomeness. It has love, politics, sacrifice, fantasy. Just a little advice, if you find the first few pages boring, then just skip it. There's nothing special there, just some romanticism. But then the story gets picked up and you won't help yourself from completing it within a few days
3) Britul sharma: Excellent book. Probably the best novel of Assamese literature. The highest selling and the most widely read Assamese novel of all time. Its a classic.
