Title: New Age Twaddle
Product review: ...with apologies to "New Age" and "twaddle". I couldn't decide whether this book was meant to be funny (which it isn't) or profound (which it isn't). Clumsy attempts to weave pseudoreligious and misunderstood metaphysical concepts into a present-day parable about a psychotherapist (leave out the therapist part) who is convinced he is the new Messiah because his inner voice gives him stock market tips, propel a story filled with nonsense that will only seem illuminating to those sad, grossly unenlightened seekers who get their religious ideas from Jerry Springer and self-help tapes. Only train-wreck fascination kept me going in an effort to glean some true point from this fractured fable until the accumulating insult and violence done to plot, character, metaphysics, religion, and punctuation ultimately compelled me to hurl this book out the window. One star for being a good projectile.
