Excellent
I adored this book and would advise anyone to give it a shot.

Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by 13yr old reader
The Conch Bearer
Even from the start, it didn't capture me. I found myself skipping chunks and still not missing out on the base f the story. I found that it went on and on and 'waffled.' This book changed my mood-for the worst. I found myself irritable and angry-- not a good read, I don't recommend it.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Student from St.John Fine Arts
Amazing Book BUY$ BUY$
This book will capture your mind and give it a wicked, magical twist. The Indian Setting makes it more mysterious.
Well Done Mrs. Divakaruni!!
