Review title: An involving read Product review: This book was an odd read for me. I was initially unaware that it was an autobiography, which made the horror of McCourt's childhood even more intense. Being Irish-Catholic, it brought back a lot of memories of my childhood and I was thankful that mine wasn't as bad as his! :-) Not for the faint hearted.

There was no noticeable improvement in my lower back or knee pain whatsoever. While there was no worsening of the problem areas, I cannot recommend purchasing the product. It literally did nothing and so would not be a very wise investment. I was truly hoping for a product that would help to alleviate some of my back and knee discomfort.

Review title: Not just a read through, but a journey. Product review: I must say that this book spoke to me on a very deep level. I read a couple of lines from it while browsing and was stopped cold. In those few words Mr Loori had summed up much of what my life was about. This touched me so profoundly that I knew the book was for me, tears actually began to well in my eyes. One does not merely read this book, one enters it, as a practice, as a journey, one of great personal discovery. In a section titled "Jeweled Mirror" the author covers feedback groups and how to view art, not from the standpoint of criticism, but from the feelings evoked. He has a photograph and instruction for quieting the mind and viewing the image in a specific way. It is an amazing exercise! This book opens ones eyes to more than creative possibilities, but to deep personal insights as well. You cannot enter it and leave unchanged, unless you are already a Buddha.

Review title: An Atmospheric Thriller with No Resolution Product review: Some parts of this book were fascinatingly complex and engaging. Other parts were just confusing and highly annoying, with way too much sex (all gay and graphic.) I kept wanting the story tied up and to understand why characters did what they did, thought what they thought. Ultimately it was just too long winded and pompous and went no where. It had enough for me to read it all the way through but I wanted to scream at the end in frustration. Read "What We Lost" by Dale Peck instead.
