The cover sells this book as a way to deeper spirituality through passionate sex. While that's part of the message, it's not the entire message. This is a novel that denies that it's presenting any specific spiritual or sexual advice, but is largely the "teachings" of its main character, a sexual-spiritual advisor named Mykonos. The narrator is one of his pupils. I think what the book is saying is that the best way to live your life is to be in a constant state of love for everythi...more
This is a great novel. I'm half way through and I am amazed by the depth of words and analogies used in a spiritual environment to encourage manhood and leadership in the field of relationships. I highly recommend that the readers of the book indulge themselves into the content rather than the words themselves. Understand the concepts and ideas behind every sentence instead of judging the words that are put out there. This book is amazing!!
Wow, this book is on the edge. For me, it pushed the boundaries of what I thought about sex and spirituality. Personally, I appreciated that a great deal, but I imagine this is one of those books that you either appreciate or are offended by.

Not for the faint of heart. Principles of Free Love and Fucking reality open into God. Pornographic, erotic, and oh so cherries and choclate, this book is a demonstration ultimately of unbounded and radically undone living.
it was an interesting read and it certainly challenged me in my preconecptions of what is acceptable behaivour. There is a great depth to this book if your willing to accept its "grittiness".
Crazy shit. I think I'm starting to understand you ladies.
One of my favourite books.
Excellent story. However, the book is very extreme. I recommend reading his other books before going into this one. You'll have a better understanding of where he is going in the story.
Quite an interesting book on God and love and sex...shared through a cast of interesting characters. Different...which makes it intriguing to read.
This book was waaay out there for me. It mixes sex and spirituality in this very weird way. I could not finish it!! I would pass.
