This is an excellent read and this review will not do it justice but I am compelled to say at least something having recommended it to a number of friends and family. With the ancient Mahabharata as the theme and background, the admirable author explains characteristics of humankind that were true then and are true now.

The way he has portrayed every characters dilemma's is just awesome. I personally enjoyed chapters on Draupadi, Krishna and Yudhishtira.

I would like to think that this level of discourse is what our original storytellers envisioned. The honest, agenda-free discussion on actions by characters in a mythical setting, that we could apply to our lives.
