Title: A truly bad translation
Review: I'm at a loss to understand why anyone would recommend this translation of the Bodhicharyavatara, versus any of the other choices available on the market. It completely lacks the poetic quality of the Padmakara translation, and the straightforwardness of the Batchelor translation. I don't even understand why academics would want it--the notes are self-obvious.The most readable translation I've come across is the Padmakara translation, published by Shambhala, and it includes a good introduction and substantial notes.
