Negative Positive
Title: Very Good for Beginners
Review: Wish I'd read this book years ago, when I first started studying Buddhism. Howley strips away the various cultural accretions that make most strains of Buddhism confusing/contradictory to a novice, thereby laying bare the essence of true and original Buddhism. This review is very short, but all you need to know is this. If you want a simple (not simplistic) explanation of Buddhism, then this is the volume for you.
Is the review positive or negative?
