5.0 out of 5 stars Hooked at the Intro...., December 18, 2005

This review is from: Secrets of the Silk Road: Finding the Lost Sacred Books of the Gobi (Paperback)

I picked this book up at a friends and was hooked right at the intro. It starts off as a simple story about growing up with subtle awareness and takes you on the journey of Life. With true jewels for growth and awareness hidden in plain sight as simple realizations I read this book like it was a travelogue for the Soul, or a memory enhancer for the heart, and when I'd finished wanted to start again... But I gave it to an 85 year old friend who reads voraciously and she told me... " I was hooked at the Intro and was twenty pages deep before I looked around to see where I was"...
