Title: What a shocker!
Review: As an Anglo Australian, I find myself confronted and hugely irritated by this inane book. That Marlo Morgan managed to sell so many thousands upon thousands of copies is beyond me until I remember the 'television audience' mentality that many have in the new age today. It is a pain just thinking about what this story entails - fiction touted as fact - and damaging to many aboriginal people as well as it portrayed them and their culture as something they are not.To be sure, it is also a laughable matter, reading this book. It's kind of like mixing an image of a television soap with a science fiction fantasy.My biggest concern is the fact that our (Australia's) beloved aboriginal elder, Burnham Burnham become involved in the story, touring with Marlo Morgan. I feel his spirit was broken from his association with this fiction and, indeed, he passed away in a cloud that shouldn't have been around him.Sad... and it's still rating well on Amazon. Pity.
