5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic story - interesting concepts, December 1, 1999

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Kundalini Equation (Paperback)

This author has done his research. I am amazed at the level of detail borrowing from martial arts, NLP and other disciplines - keeping everything real.

This story is hard to put down as well.

It's hard to believe the quality that is in this little paperback - but make amazon find you a copy and buy it.

If you are at all interested in martial arts, transhumanism, eastern philosphy, or good stories - this is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT book!, June 14, 2002

"garyg85" (Round Rock, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Kundalini Equation (Paperback)

I first read this quite a few years ago but reread it nearly every year - starting to wear it out actually. Barnes clearly did the necessary research to make the tale feel real. The story line and character development make this one of the best in the fiction world (I would love to see this turned into a screenplay).

5.0 out of 5 stars An Avid Reader's Favorite Book, October 22, 1999

"eanelson" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Kundalini Equation (Paperback)

This is one of the best books available to read. It is great writing. As well developed as a Stephen King Novel, with the plot drive of Thomas Harris. There is little this book doesn't offer. Martial Arts appreciation a plus, but not a requirement. Stephen Barnes is a master. I have read James Patterson, Richard Matheson, Stephen King, Robert Ludlum, Thomas Harris, Umberto Eco, Richard Bach. This book is a postmodern masterpiece.
