    			  This was a tough read.  I would recommend it for Watts fans but not for general reading.

    			  This book is like the first part of the movie &quot;Zeitgeist&quot; where it ties all religions together by common themes.  The main differences being that it is written with more of a positive air about it and that it uses the story of Easter to predominantly prove its point.  A great read for fans of Alan Watts that like to put yourself in the time when it was written and see him blowing doors of new thought open in 1950.

    			  This book was barely a book at all.  The movie they are currently making of it will surely blow.  Meh.

    			  I was very much looking forwardto reading this book as it is the only collaberation that I know of between my two favorite thinkers ever...Ram Dass (wrote the introduction in the book) and Alan Watts.  Also, I think that due to the nature of the writings (memoirs written by Watts while on psycadelics) I was ready for the most insightful stuff ever from him.  Truth be told...this book reads like a random piecemeal buffet of some of his other writings.  The subjects jump as quickly from one to the next just as one would expect while hanging out with someone on psycadelic drugs.  I struggled to finish it just for the sake of finishing it.  That said, this book will remain as one of my favorites of my entire collection due to the aformentioned collaboration.  Neat balance, eh?
