Book Reviews of Mahabharata: The Greatest Spiritual Epic of All Time (Great Classics of India) (Great Classics of India)
Book Review: Expected better
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is fine as a sort of cliff's notes to get acquainted with the storyline of one of the most important pieces of world literature of all time. But I feel strongly that KD's turning it into a juicy melodrama is the wrong treatment to give such an important work. The subtitle of this book is "The Greatest Spiritual Epic of All Time." I would make it "The Greatest Spiritual Epic of All Time, reduced to the level of a vacuous soap opera." That's how it reads, anyway.
If you're into Mary Higgins Clark or Dungeons and Dragons, etc., you will love this rendering. As for people with more criteria, prepare yourselves for the awkwardness of paramount characters like Arjuna and Krishna reduced to the likes of, say, Fabio.
