This book had some interesting and accessible info on Buddhism, so if you’re interested in a random dabbling of beginning Buddhist thought, you might like it. The story was readable enough. It spent a lot of time on a backstory that was interesting but hard to believe. My biggest complaint was that it barely scratched the surface of the main issue – the sway and control that “masters” have over devotees. Plus, I didn’t end up with a clear picture of any of the characters, main or secondary. Too bad, because the subject of mind control and abuse of power is fascinating and certainly timely.
