Title: Carlos Castaneda doesn't live here anymore
Review: If you are looking for Carlos, don't look here. Carlos Castaneda does not lead the author on a mystical journey, he doesn't lead him anywhere. He is not alive, has never been alive. The Carlos in this book is merely a literary device used to get the author from one mediocre story to the next. This is a cheap way to sell books.The stories are only mildly interesting and Goodman draws hackneyed, tired, Christian conclusions from them. Goodman admits he didn't get to interview Carlos and has limited experience with Castaneda's works. This work would have, at least, sounded more authentic if he had read or met the man. When I finished reading it, I felt cheated.
