Thoroughly enjoyed her work. Looking to read the second one now. Hope I am amazed by facts about it. Kudos to Ami ji for wonderful work.

I am really excited to read this book. However the condition in which it arrived is bad.

This is a great work looking at the original text itself. While Mahabharata is nothing short of a magical work and is instructive for everyone and every part of life, it has been retold multiple times. This book takes us back to the basics.While there are repetitive passages in the book, they are needed for the context of the chapter.I loved reading it.

A very knowledgeable retelling of this beautiful epic. Although we know this epic inside out, this retelling would make you fall in love with it all over again.

Very informative

Most absorbing and interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. A masterpiece. Well written and researched.Ami Ganatra is a wonderful story teller

Nice book! It dispelled several ideas which were not based on facts. Very helpful to get clear pictures about several important characters of Mahabharat.
