review 1: I have to state at the outset, this is a well written, and well researched book. The interviews with people from different strata of society are very engaging. However, where this book loses majorly is on its over-analysis. Preachy and quite boring in parts, it lost my attention many a time. However for its interesting and insightful glimpse into the capital of our vast and complex country- India, its worth a read.
review 2: I've always been intrigued by Delhi and picked up this book with no hesitation at all. But I was disappointed. It offers little in terms of insight and is just a collection of some anecdotes and stories that we already seem to know about Delhi. Given that it a modern history of Delhi, I think a lot more could have been covered.Overall a lit... moretle disappointed with the book. The cover design is great though! less
