Thomas Thomas said: "Not really a "rateable" kind of book, so the stars are for the fluidity of the translation (I can't speak for the accuracy) and the notes. This book forms one part of a body of scripture, so it doesn't stand alone -- a little background res...more "

Thomas Thomas said: "Many popular translations or treatments of this book treat the I Ching as a parlor game of sorts, a very complicated magic eight ball. And while this translation covers the oracular nature of the book, it doesn't concentrate on it. Wilhelm and Baynes...more "

Thomas Thomas said: "Compulsively readable, but less thoughtful than the Border trilogy (the Crossing in particular.) The dialogue is pitch perfect and the action is delivered crisply. The moments of reflection that introduce each chapter distinguish this from a traditio...more "

Thomas Thomas said: "Much is made of the role of Roman Catholicism in this book, but to me it's more of a parody of the upper class. Effete and dandy Sebastian Flyte abandons his teddy bear for a gin bottle, his dour sister Julia sets about looking for a nice widower to ...more "

1019722 Thomas read and liked Richard's review of Essential Rumi:

"I imagine that many will wonder why my opinion of this book is so low. The answer, mainly, is that Barks is not really translating Rumi here; instead he is improvising, creating his own versions of what he thinks Rumi is about, which often results in...more "
