5.0 out of 5 stars Witty Sharing of a Zany Life!, January 24, 2008

By	C. Cartisano "stargirl" (Greensboro, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Lance White, aka Zany Mystic, takes the reader on an up close and personal journey into the life he has lead which definitely suits his nickname! There is a ton of self deprecating humor, with an ample supply of spirituality applied to soothe the rough times that the author has faced. It is an insightful look inside a lifestyle that has for the most part, been kept hidden from the public. Thank you for sharing your life with us so far Zany Mystic, and I look forward to reading Volume Two...as I am sure there are many more roads to travel ahead of you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiration and Hope, January 27, 2008

By	Bernice Baswell (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Few can muster the honesty, clarity and wit to look at the dark path behind them, turn around, and walk into the light. L.B. White has superbly accomplished this for himself, and now, through sharing his "Tales", he is an inspiration for all who have not dared to hope!

5.0 out of 5 stars Worthy of Reading More than Once, January 26, 2008

By	Tanja Mcclure "karmickiss" (Gardner, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book paints an incredible and wonderful picture of transformation. It is absolutely gripping in the way in which it is written, and pulls you in from the first pages, and keeps you locked in to the last. This is a story of personal triumph, that has the ability to reach out to help awaken the reader to their own potential realities. This being said, I am excited about the possibilities for everyone that takes the journey with the author.
The way in which he describes the characters in his life is rich and full of humor and beauty, raising the awareness of how we are all one. The horrors of addiction are shown to us without holding anything back. Anyone in recovery can relate to it intimately, and those fortunate enough to have bypassed this experience will be able to follow and perhaps better understand how this spiral of addiction works. Even better than this, is the transformative journey away from the grips of hopelessness and despair. Nothing is hidden, and it's touching how these experiences all gained momentum into a work of inspiration on all levels.
This is one of those books that can be read more than once. There is so much invaluable spiritual food for the soul here. I would encourage anyone to read this, as it not only entertains the mind, but fills the heart, and challenges the spirit. It is beautifully written, and because of the multiple layers of sincerity and wisdom, it stays with you after reading it, making the reader hope for a part two.
