Isn't this book gigantic? How long did it take to read?

The single-volume Penguin version is abridged, even then it's about 1000 pages.

There's a 10-volume version that's unabridged, costs over $100

I have a penguin version of roughly 800 pages, took me about just over a month to finish the book and I have re-read it once and going for another read because I find it difficult to follow the narrative with so many persona's and family's.

Well originally the book was made public and wide-spread for non profit. I did buy it for like 20$, however this is not the original intention and if you're willing to spend money on paper you can get all the volumes for free.

The Bibek Debroy version? I know there's older ones available for free.

No, for the 10 volume version. It's by Bibek Debroy, that's the one that costs a lot.
