Centuries ago, it was proclaimed of the Mahabharata: "What is not in it, is nowhere." But even now, we can use the same words about it. He who knows it not, knows not the heights and depths of the soul; he misses the trials and tragedy and the beauty and grandeur of life. The Mahabharata is not a mere epic; it is a romance, telling the tale of heroic men and women, and of some who were divine; it is a whole literature in itself, containing a code of life, a philosophy of social and ethical relations, and speculative thought on human problems that is hard to rival; but, above all, it has for its core the Gita,which is, as the world is beginning to find out, the noblest of scriptures and the grandest of sagas in which the climax is reached in the wondrous apocalypse in the Eleventh Canto.

Too many mistakes. And, the way it is presented confuses any reader. Many places Karna becomes Kama and destroys the entire context. And, this is just a single example of the hundreds of mistakes the book makes. If this was a high school project about the story of Mahabharata, then, it would get a C- and definitely not more. The only good thing about this probably is that it gives more or less a good amount of the story which would be good enough for a first time reader. But then, it would leave the first time reader with a confused mind about the name of Karna... Or, Kama...
This is a truly great book and one I have wanted to read for a long time.
