Soul Stories
by Gary Zukab, Fireside, 2000 ISBN: 0743206371
I had the opportunity to buy either The Seat of
the Soul or Zukav's new on Soul Stories. Since I thought
some short stories would make great bedtime reading I picked up the
later. It is now four months later and it still sits on my
bedside with a couple of more stories to go. I think that says
it all. This book gets quite a good rating from most Amazon.com
readers, but the following expresses best my feelings about the
book. They say it much better than I do.
Reviewer: G.E. Nesbitt from Alphen aan den Rijn
Netherlands
After having read The Seat of the Soul, and been totally blown
away by the ideas presented, I did not expect the let down that Soul
Stories turned out to be. I had expected this, companion book, to dig
deeper into the philosophies presented in the first book, but by
comparison this is a much shallower, more commercial book, where
little supplementary wisdom can be found
Reviewer: Peters Maclean from
Prince Edward Island, Canada
What did disappoint me about the book is the manner in which many of
the sentences were structured - short and choppy. By the time the end
of the book arrived, the style was down-right annoying and reminded me
of my first primary reader in grade school.
Reviewer: Ann H. Katsuyoshi from
New Bern, NC United States
A bit too self-indulgent for my tastes. Told me a lot more about his
life than I cared to know (especially since it wasn't all that
exciting). Full of aging-hippy platitudes. I could almost smell the
incense burning. Former aggressive, military type finds true happiness
by getting in touch with his inner child, loving everybody and chewing
on tree bark and weeds. Yadda, yadda yadda. We can expect the
infomercial any day.
