Title: what a load of horse hockey
Review: I read this book ten years ago and am ashamed to admit it. It was so very obviously a new age fantasy novel masquerading as truth or near-truth, that to finish the entire book was an exercise in self-deceit. Enough reviewers have produced salient points to this effect that I submit this review only to add one more point that has been overlooked by those unfamiliar with its source.Margo Morgan quotes an aboriginal with a sort of poem or statement about clouds and coming and going that is a verbatim plagarism of a mostly obscure poem by Seung Sahn Sunim, a Korean Zen master. It has been ten years, so I won't attempt the quote myself, but the memory of her blatant dishonesty saddens me to this day.
Is the review positive or negative?
