First Rate Translations
If you're interested at all in translations of the ancient scriptures of the Hindu tradition, any by Swami Venkatesananda are more than worth the read. And, this translation of the Ramayana is certainly no exception. It's a wonderful read and he's divided the context into 365 segments making for excellent daily studying of the scripture. He translates into English direct from the original Sanskrit as he was fluent in both languages (quite an accomlishment by any standard!) so much of the rich color of the original has been wonderfully maintained. I would recommend this to anyone interested in scripture of this nature.

Some typos but otherwise great
This is a fine translation. My only qualm is the occasional typo.

Great book, lost of thought provoking content. Everyone should read, when they are ready.
