**************** Reading the whole book is fantastic and well worth it. If you read a summary, all you get is a war story. The whole book is online: http://www.bharatadesam.com/spiritual/mahabharata/index.php I read this edition in print many years ago, at the rate of a few pages a day, took me about a year to read. All Vedic knowledge is here in the frame-tale of a war story, in order to attract the tamasic tastes of people in the Kaliyuga.
