Disappointing. That is all I will care to say about how I felt after reading the book. Oh what it could be and what it ended up as ! Trying to capture the theme of a course in miracles, this book ends up at best as a cheap counterfeit. There are sections where I felt that I may not be giving this book its due credit and in essence it is those sections which made me read the whole book and analyze it fairly.
And the result was same. It might be a good book for someone who is desperate to cling to anything to begin afresh but I would advice seasoned readers to read it with a little detachment. Marianne certainly is gifted and I am sure the book is wonderful, it is just that I could not relate to it.I do not know whether to recommend it or not so I will and you can decide on your own!

Thanks for making the demarcation for the reader - beginner v/s advanced. Interesting :-)

Thanks for the thoughtful review. I wouldnt enjoy reading a book that is supposed to help me but in fact left me feeling empty.

I wouldn't mind some "spoilers" as examples of what didn't quite work for you. But all in all your message/review gives a clear viewpoint.
