I recommend everyone to experience Mahabharata once in their lives, no matter which reindition. It will take you on a journey with mightiest of highs and deepest of lows. The story takes times to build, indeed i found first 40% of the book to be laborous and winding. If you are aware of the premise, you can skip to Virata parva. Once Arjuna's bow twangs and the battle of Virata commences, this book comes alive and picks up a notch. The climax builds up steadily, and in process brings you to the edge of your seat, makes you breathless and then the book is unputdownable. I can only imagine the awe of citizens 2500 years ago as bards performed this as a poem, to enchanted masses. I found myself sharing that feeling. All in all, the scope of the story is too vast for me to cover in a single review. Some treat it as a religious text, for some it is drama of highest caliber. In this particular instance I read it as a book of war. The story exceeds in all these aspects and much more. In my opinion, the work stands at the pinnacle among ancient mythological epics.

What can I say about this book, is it long winded? Sure but it moves at a cracking pace for what it covers and is extremely easy to follow for those unfamiliar with the myth. I honestly found it a glorious read for all its antics and definitely a product of its time but not far off a popular fantasy tale in the modern age. The spiritual subtext and virtuous messaging is only a cherry on top of the cake and something that rarely interferes, overall I enjoyed it immensely.

Read the cliff notes version of this book. It’s way too long. The battles are exaggerated and too many deaths. Overall the book was worth reading because it’s a classic of Indian Culture.

An absolute gem for English readers who wants to imbibe the essence of Mahabharata.

Brilliantly written - reads like a novel rather than a religious script.
