The book covered the cultural, evolutionary, religious aspects of Hinduism and other influential personalities associated with it, which was what I was looking for - a brief overview, to better understand the culture, tradition and the popular mythological stories we keep on hearing on a day-to-day basis. It did a decent job of summarising that, but there were quite a lot of typos, grammatical mistakes and incorrect translations, and a lot of topics needed more in-depth explanation. Plus, there was no sequence to the topics. I did find it quite informative though.
