I got the Kindle edition of this book for free on Amazon.  It’s a great read! It seems that the books I get for free are better than the ones I pay for.

I found it to be somewhat poorly written and not nearly as captivating as Siddhartha.  I had just come off a string of great-to-amazing books when I read it (East of Eden, Seven Years in Tibet, The Clan of the Cavebear, and The Curse of Lono) and read War and Peace and Into the Wild immediately after.  That may have had a negative impact on my memory of Chopra’s writing.  Who knows.  
Speaking of Siddhartha, Herman Hess’ Journy to the East is a really strange and great read, for anyone seeking a book recommendation.
