5.0 out of 5 stars Wish she were still with us, April 30, 2006
By 
D. Loren (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hide And Seek: A Continuing Journey: A Continuing Journey (Paperback)
There is not a word that Jessamyn West has written that has not completely enthralled me. She has such skill with the language and such a fine understanding of the human condition. This was a nonfiction work that takes place in a trailor in the desert where the author secluded herself to finish writing a book. She talks about life and her encounters with her strange neighbors. She walks in the arroyos understanding the risk of flash flood, but doing it anyway. It is very introspective and I imagine the other reviewer may not be familiar with a spiritual way of life which requires one to self-examine. This is a diary of her personal thoughts. She has high courage and personal integrity. I highly recommend this book, but perhaps to someone who is already familiar with her great works of fiction and other works of nonfiction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Just boring, February 12, 2006
By 
M. Bussio "MB" (Rancho Palos Verdes, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hide And Seek: A Continuing Journey: A Continuing Journey (Paperback)
The book is just plain old boring. She frequently comments on on other authors seeming to try to fill up the text as if she could find anything else to write. Boring all the way though it.
