Title: Dry and difficult to read
Review: This was my first time reading The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and I struggled with it for weeks and finished it only with great effort. The writing was dry, confusing, and I was often pausing to look up words (both English and Sanskrit). I would only recommend this book if you are a scholar interested in reading every translation of the Yoga Sutras, or if you are a devoted friend of the author. I bought this book as a required text for a class. It turns out the writer (translator) is a friend of the teacher who assigned our reading list. What a disappointment! After looking at more translations, I prefer the translation by Sri Swami Satchidananda.
