Likes 

↳ The book would seem to readers as an enlightening journey talking about culture, karma and Buddha!

↳ The book also enables the readers to learn and understand Vedas and Purana in short sweet Length.

↳ We need to understand that the translated version of the books are in abstract nature to help in understanding life altogether.

↳You might want to read more or stay hungry for more mythological explanations and discussion which is good.

↳The mythological stories are written in to illustrate the relevance of Dharma and Karma.

Dislike

The book is marketed in a misleading manner. It is not about the Veda or Adi Puran being a single story rather it's kind of compilation of simple & popular stories from the mythological texts.

Rating 

When you read mythological stories, you need to take & understand them in relevance to modern day world and this short read left me craving more for which I love about books. If you are someone who is fulled to read more because of such books then its a go! Also you can encourage young kids from 12+ to read this one and learn more about not just our culture and life. 

From my end this book gets a 3.5. 

Note!

↳ Also if you are on lookout to know about whole Veda or Purana in great detail do mind that the book is beaded in a short story compiled of 100 passages to give you Shiv stories Brahma, Vishnu and Buddha in a concise and interlinked manner.
