Summary: A good intro book written by someone smarter than you
Comment: I read this book for Professor Doniger's class at the University of Chicago. I can't say that I absolutely loved it, but on the whole it was an excellent introduction to Hinduism with a widespread selection of relevant myths.
I'm really writing this review to debunk the other reviews on this site. Chances are the reviewers who charged the author of innaccurate translating or having a Judeo-Christian agenda either (1) don't realize the extent of Prof. Doniger's expertise or (2) are just idiot Hindus with their own narrow views of their religion. Unless these reviewers are scholars themselves, I doubt they know enough about Hinduism to make these charges. Don't listen to them.
Rating: 1
Summary: Totally inaccurate
Comment: This book is full of inaccuracies. The author does not understand anything about hinduism. Not worth your time if you want to get some accurate information.
