Enthralling

"Unputdownable" :-) If you are jaded by religious/philosophical literature, this book will refresh you. If you are not interested in religion at all, you will find Climbing Chamundi Hill incredibly entertaining. Mr. Glucklich, when is the next one coming?

Challenging and intriguing

Reading this book was like reading no other I book I have ever read-you need to really think as you read, expand your mind and way of seeing the world. It is very rewarding and I recommend it to people who like a challenge, who like to change their way of thinking, who like to think philosophically and deeply.
