Witty, Honest, Informative

This is an excellent book for someone who, like the author, is seeking spiritual fulfillment--or for anyone who simply wants to know more about Eastern and "alternative" religions. Clores is brutally honest about the ups and downs of her spiritual quest. She is a likable and entertaining guide, and the tone is light, despite the seriousness of the topic. This probably sounds funny, but I think that this book would make an excellent Christmas/Hanukkah gift. Too many of us forget that there is a rich spiritual world outside the gates of the major organized religions.
