Extraordinary take on fiction

First I congratulate Mr. Chopra on writing this piece for the fiction genre. This was a really good book. I have to admit thought, that the true essence of it may be lost to the average reader, unless they are farmiliar with Chopra's philosophies (and not just his) on the mind-body connection, consciousness and of course, Love! It's not the usual romance... its Love of a higher level. He touches on love and death and life as it really is, as it should be. Each of us is a spark of divinity, a link to the other, a part of a whole called consciousness. The Athma! Chopra merged it all into fictional characters and characterization. I loved his medical jargon and psychiatric/pharmacological stanse. It's a lovely story of love ... the true meaning and power of love!

So soulful!

This was the first and only Deepak Chopra book I have read to date. I thought it was an excellent read. It was emotionally draining for me, though. After I finished reading this book, I couldn't think of anything else for a week. It's a part of my collection!

one of the best

I truly loved this book. Its a fast read, but a great story. I havent read anything else by Deepak Chopra but this is among my top favorite books. I am an avid reader!

Deepak's Best Novel Yet

Deepak Chopra has been making inroads in the fiction field for several years, and this is his best novel to date. Its theme is definitely inspiring and New Age, a love story that brings two people together, only to separate them after the heroine dies suddenly. The first part of Soulmate is about the romance between Raj, a young doctor in New York, and Molly, an actress he meets on the subway. The second, more metaphysical part of the story, takes place after Molly's death when she apparently returns to tell Raj about the true meaning of love and death. I found the style very readable, a real page turner. But the most enjoyable part was to hear Deepak discuss the great question of how love survives death. This is a story of personal redemption that really touches the reader.
