$80 Ebook - Anyone read this author....
...Ashok K. Banker or this massive $80 ebook, "RAMAYANA SERIES: THE COMPLETE EDITION"?
Here's the link to the book above: http://www.amazon.com/RAMAYANA-SERIE...s=ashok+banker I'm not certain how to view this one - as something religious or as something similar to Zelazny, or perhaps both? Don |

I can't say anything about the content but if you are really interested in buying this series I guess you should buy the single books and not the compilation.
(And some of his other books have an interesting pricing too !) |

If it's being treated as a fantasy series (story-telling-wise), then I'm somewhat interested; but, as a religious presentation, I have no interest at this time in engaging in reading any religious material.

I have not read it (though I have it ), but I think they are treated as fantasies built on "great Indian epic" story, or rather myths. I've read other versions of Ramayana and Mahabharata and to me, as non-Indian, they do seem like fantasies (just like all the other myths do).

Good ratings/reviews at both amazon and goodreads. you might look here at the Goodreads comments on the Book 1:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...nce_of_Ayodhya Seems like a 'take off' from Indian Mythology.... more comments on the other book in the series here: http://www.goodreads.com/series/50114-ramayana |

Yeah. a bit overpriced, as the individual ebooks are less than $10 each.

For $80, it better be a completely error-free ebook, from the technical standpoint.
