4.0 out of 5 stars A good book. Both entertaining and stimulating, August 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Brazen Head (Hardcover)

This is an engaging story that ends mysteriously. I enjoyed this very much because of the drama of the plot and the interesting exploration of the characters and their inner thoughts and motives. The author explores many of the character's personal experience of spirituality. He appears to be saying that we are all alone before god, that our personal experience and relationship with God (Tao or whatever you want call it) is what is important without trying to live or conform to other peoples notions of the transcendental. This is the first book by this author that I have read and I certainly intend to read more.
