This is a long ode of worship of Ram. Using the Ramayana of Valmiki as a structure, this work praises Ram in almost every verse, he is handsome, pure, radiant, generous, etc etc. He can do no wrong, even though an objective view of his actions, willfully murdering many people that are called demons, could be said to be those of a blood thirsty maniac.
The translator says that they can't reproduce the beauty of Tulsidas' poetry in English, and as he is considered one of the greatest Hindi poets this absence makes the work tiring to read.
No beautiful poetry, wooden characters, a plot that moves slowly and has no surprises, makes for a dull book.
