Such a brilliant piece of work. The amount of planning and preparation that it would have taken Mr Banker is astounding. I will be lucky if I was ever able to write even 10% as good as that.

Great interpretation
loved the whole series. the highlight was his depiction of Sita as a fiercely independent warrior princess. this is a no holds barred narration of the real and the divine and does not try to gloss over the murky human characters in an attempt to give them the air of God. the reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the 7th book seemed needlessly convoluted. it completely lost the plot while trying to find a reason for Rama banishing his wife to exile. it was very confusing. however the 8th book picks up pace and logic again and ends the tale on a high. I do wish the foreword to the last two books weren't so lengthy though

A very nice rendition of Ramayana
really loved this omnibus. It feels so true to the story I heard as a kid while still adding some interesting, and pleasing, changes. A good rendition imho.

Nice imagination of ramayana and merging fiction with mythology and reinterpretation of the same to create his own version.
