Book Reviews of Ishmael: An Adventure of the Mind and Spirit

This book will give you a whole new way to look at your life and the life our culture tells us is good. You will end up with more questions than answers, but the questions are a place to start. Let Ishmael be your teacher and come along on the journey.

Fascinating book! The premise is off-beat, to say the least, but the wisdom imparted by the unusual scholar was insightful. I couldn't put this one down.

Hippie book about saving the world, and talking to a monkey

if you believe a miracle is a change in perception, than this book is a miracle. I used to think the world will be wonderful when we have all blended into one color... now I see how diveristy makes strenght and in a way, keeping diversity is a way heal our challenged earth.

I love books that make you think- and this one does!!!!!

This book a quick read with subtle political commentary.

A very interesting thought experiment. Great if you like philosophy or history.

Excellent. I went on to read every book I could find by this author.

A telepathic ape imparts his wisdom to a young man.
Odd, but interesting.

Good ideas that we should follow.

thought provoking spiritual ideas

Very thought provoking.

Interesting and moving read.

Amazing book about our humanity's relationship to the rest of creation. It will change how you think.

Very powerful read. I still think about it often. However I think it could have all been said it half the text.

I've read all of Daniel Quinn's books. Read this when it came out years ago have owned many copies, always find someone to give them to. Love the story the movie did not really do justice to book but it was good. I recommend The Holy & Story of B as well. Takers? ;-)

I only read this book to accomplish an author from every letter of the alphabet. Just not my cup of tea.

An unusual and exceptional book, with many ideas to contemplate.

I was interested in this book at first, but I could not get into it. I finished it and it got better towards the end. Interesting premise.

good

not as good as any derrick jensen commentaries on modern culture and the destruction of the world for our own selfish and unnecessary purposes, but should be required reading for anyone with a soul. if this were required reading or even a continuing curriculum material in schools MEYABE people would start to live with a little more responsible outlook on life and the world we live in....

I don't agree with the philosophy, but a lot of people do

interesting outlook, worth the read, to expand your outlook.

Very good

have not read

An interesting view of what has happened to our society.
