To all those unhappy with the book.,a moment of silence.I do agree that only the original one written by Vyasa is authentic..But have some sense that there are numerous retellings..However the author has tried to paint the picture as it is in a neutral way..Moreover he has also given enriching insights along with the family history as well..A good read..And also he has given so many references about places and all that one's horizon of knowledge can expand..
