Indlæser... Or So It Seemsaf Paul Steven Stone
Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Honestly, I couldn't finish it. I barely made it to the 100 page mark. Maybe it gets better past there, but I really don't think I could convince myself to go on. It had no point. It kept bouncing from one place/time to another. I couldn't detect a plot, or maybe the plot was so convoluted that I just didn't understand it. If a NOVEL needs a glossery to explain the terms/phrases it contains, it means I'm going to have to work to hard to read it. I read books to escape the hassles of real life, I shouldn't have to use a glossery to figure out what the definition is of a word or phrase. It annoyed the hell out of me, so I put it back on the book shelf. (  ) meimur | Jul 8, 2009 |  This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I got this book as a member giveaway. I am usually a fast reader, but this took a long time to read--probably b/c I had a hard time getting into it. Once I got about half-way through, I started to pick up the pace a little. Good points: this book turned out to be quite funny and the story was intriguing once I got into it. (  ) sdabd | Jun 15, 2009 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. What a delightful and extraordinary spin on a host of important spiritual truths, - and not at all less appealing than many straightforward interpretations that some of us come across and some of us study. Witty, touching, optimistic, a wonderful sense of humor. 12 years to write this book? Totally worth the time!!! (  ) Clara53 | Jun 1, 2009 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. It took me a while to figure this book out. Was it supposed to be funny or was it there to teach a life-lesson? Then I realized that the author is an advertising copy writer and so is the main character in the book. Okay--then this explains the silly words and phrases used to describe some classic Eastern philosophy. I am glad that the author included a Glossary of Terms at the end of the book. I did need to refer back several times myself. The book did get tedious at times--but then the main character's life was tedious and petty a good bit of the time. I did like the ending. ( ) Alice_Wonder | May 24, 2009 | This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways. A member giveaway. Could not get interested in this novel at all. Seemed somewhat disjointed to me but I'm sure others will find it more interesting. (  ) KWoman | May 7, 2009 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
As we meet Paul Peterson he is being dragged reluctantly toward an oversized couch by a wine-emboldened, faded beauty named Allison Pratt. As a former member of The Seekers For Truth, a school of self development, Peterson holds a mystical view of the universe through which he examines the chain of events that have brought him to this absurdly humorous personal crisis. The novel follows Peterson's Do-It-Yourself Workshop, a supernatural, self-examination that takes him back and forth in time. Along the way, he is joined by a Hindu Holy Man known as The Bapucharya. Greatly amused by Peterson's life challenges, the irrepressible Bapucharya plays both Greek Chorus and Sancho Panza to Mr. Peterson's comically tragic hero. It is Peterson's search for answers to the mysteries of his life that this fantastic tale speeds us through, with a conclusion as startling as it is supremely fitting. You have never before read a novel like this! No library descriptions found. |
