The reason i bought this book was because i liked the element of 'living in the present' which was displayed in the film, so i wanted to dig deeper by reading the book. Reading through the book i enjoyed the easy-to-read and high detail explanation of the main character's journey. But as i went deeper into the book i just noticed that it was obviously 'New Age', now that is something most people won't argue about, and i don't hate some of the truths in it, but i don't like the overall of that 'religion'. So even though i like the author's storytelling and some of the philosophy (like the one of living in the present) i don't go into the 'new age' being a christian. I can read a story of metaphors, but when the author makes the story into an obvious religion which contradicts mine, i can't go further. Now to end this review, i was satisfied with the storytelling and detailing but not with the overall philosophy.
