This is a very beautiful and one if the most greatest ,beautiful and long story of our country .But I WOULD LIKE TO COMMMENT THAT THIS BOOK MUST BE READ IN HINDI BECAUSE IF THIS STORY WOULD BE READ IN HINDI THAN THERE WOULD BE MANY RESPECTFULL AND BEAUTIFULL WORDS LEARNED BY CHILDREN AND MANY MORE PEOPLE AND ONE MORE BENFIT WOULD BE THAT IF THIS BOOK WOULD BE READ IN HINDI THAN PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW THE REAL essence OF THE STORY AND OF THAT ERA .RATHER THAN THIS IS A VERY GOOD BOOK TO READ IN FREE TIME INSTEAD OF WATHCHING TV,MOBLIES AND ETC . I DON’T HAVE WORDS TO EXPRESS ABOUT THE STORY AND THE BOOK BUT THE PICTURES MUST NOT BE OF AMERICANS OR OUT OF INDIAN DRAWN IN THE BOOK WHICH IS A NEGITIVE POINT OF THIS BOOK AND ALSO AT SOME PLACES THE WRITE HAVE MIXED UP WITH INFORMATION AS THIS POINT MUST NOT BE NOTICES BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT READ THE REAL BOOK WHICH IS IN SANSKRIT .At last I would like to say if you want get some basic knowledge about that era then I would prefer this book to only children between age 10-14 to get some basic knowledge about Mahabharata.
