Summary: The book contains inaccurate facts on aboriginal culture
Review: I enjoyed reading this fiction right before my trip to Austrailia. The book is labelled as a fiction, but the author insist on making the readers to believe that her story is the factual accounts. I took a guided tour in Kakadu National park with an austrailian who was very knowlegable in aboriginal culture and I asked the accuracy of the account relayed by Marlo Morgan. He reacted with anger saying that the book was full of inaccurate references. I wondered whether she actually spent any time in Austrailia if she made such blatant mistakes. Was she confused when she referred the spider web like dream catcher is aboriginal? I was told that she must have borrowed it from American indian concept, but it is nothing to do with aboriginal.

Summary: A spiritual message for seekers.
Review: Mutant Message Down Under is a beautifully written story. Simple without being simplistic. The intention of the author in my opinion was to simply relay the stories and experiences she encountered among the Aboriginal peoples. Approach this book with a sense of anticipation for an adventure, a hope for discovering more of the truth we all seek, and an appreciation for the fact that modern civilization, the mutants, may not have it right. I applaud Ms. Morgan for her willingness to share the experience and endure the criticism and at times hostilities she has been exposed to. The truth, as painful as it may be, does set us free.

Review: Dear Morgan, You are loved and supported on your journey :0) I'm impressed with your story of your experience with the aborignal beings of Australia. I honor your gifts. Thank you for bringing their voice to us mutants. We still have much to learn.

Summary: Interesting substance badly served
Review: I am from Down Under and thoroughly enjoyed the spritual journey into the Abo's minds and culture - I hated the trite nonsense which Marlo served us up. Was it just bad editing?? did two people write the book??? It was like exquisite meal served up on plastic Micky Mouse plates. She hasn't done justice to the Aboriginis - she has insulted them by her trite little homilies at the end of most chapters - "If only they were world leaders" etc. One can describe the book using Marla's style as a great present badly wrapped, pearls among the swine, silk purses and sow's ears.

Summary: Westerners are hypersensitve and defensive
Review: I enjoyed this book. It was fun to read as well as informative. I don't understand why people are so angry and hateful about such simple concepts as love, truth, and beauty. Perhaps they aren't any of those things. True or not this book is a great read. Native peoples have and always will be exploited by others. It's too bad the "others" don't respect all that life encompasses. It will be their downfall.

Summary: "ALL LIFE IS ONE LIFE"
Review: I heard about this book from a students' mother and thought it sounded very interesting. As soon as I got home I came to Amazon.com to find out more. I was intrigued as I read all of the comments, which varied from outrage to joy. I immediately bought the book to find out for myself what all of the controversy was about. Marlo Morgan's story is one of personal strength, courage and growth! This woman was taken into the deserts of Australia with no warning. She survived by learning about the people she was traveling with. Her eyes were opened to a entire culture foreign to her own. And they were opened to the truths of her own culture. During one evening she played a new game with the tribe. A game which confused her at first, but she slowly caught on. In the end she was told "We journey a straight path in Oneness. Mutants have many beliefs; they say your way is different from my way, your savior is not my savior, your forever is not my forever. But the truth is, all life is one life." (p.125) Whether or not this book is based in fact or fiction, there is no way for us to know, and it isn't important. That statement is!! That's the message to walk away with when you read this book! "All life is one life." I recommend this book for anyone who is open-minded enough to see the message and look past whether or not the book is fact or fiction. If you can do that, your eyes will open wider and wider as you turn each page!

Summary: a must read for anyone willing to expand their consciousness
Review: Marlo Morgan's account of her spiritual revelation is the key here. She went into this journey being spiritually void (as a great portion of our society is) and returned with a message of hope, tollerance, and understanding. There is entirely too much debate on the issues of fact vs. fiction, her lack of literary style, and her motive for writing this book. The mere fact that so much attention is being spent on such nit-picking rather than the message, further illustrates how essential this reading is. There are alot of unconscious drones that could benefit from this read and find peace and meaning in their lives if they're willing to give it a chance. C'mon, Marlo Morgan never professed to be a great novelist - she's a doctor with something to say. An interesting observation that I made in reading some of the more scathing reviews, was that the individuals who seemed most caught up in the fast vs. fiction controversy are the ones who feel the need to get their own credentials out there..."as a grad student at..." "I am an anthropoligist who spent 8 years in Australia..." "I have a Phd. in..." etc. And the literary snobs, well... there is no pleasing them anyway. Those with the biting tongues and the quick judgement are the ones who need this read the most. I am compiling a list to send this book to everyone that I give a damn about, while encouraging them to read and recirculate the books and get the message out.

Summary: A Mutant's journey to the Outback.
Review: The book Mutant Message Down Under is about a woman named Marlo Morgan. It tells of her experience with the Aborigines in Australia. One of Marlo's experiences with the Aborigines was going on a four month long "walkabout" through the Outback with them. After living with them and learning their 50,000 year old way of life, she returned to her hometown in America to share her story with the rest of the world. Marlo Morgan, also being the author, wrote this book so she could tell the world about her experiences and memories of the Aborigines. This book also helps spread the Aborigines message about the world. She shared these things so later generations can learn about this unique tribe without actually having to visit them. This is an inspirational book about the Aborigines of Australia and one person's effort to understand them. This book is recommended to those who are wanting to learn about a very interesting tribe of people who live in a difficult enviroment.

Summary: Trivialized human evolution.
Review: This book was cliche and corny. It reminded me of joining a cult. The author seems unable to see beyond her nose. Anyone who would buy this overly simplistic, pseudo-moralistic nonsense needs to get a grip on reality. It is an insult to native peoples everywhere, as well as to every other civilization. People are part of the bigger picture of nature - I'll agree with her there. But what she fails to notice is that like all living systems we have changed too.

Summary: A way to end the policy of personal destruction...
Review: This book demonstrates the human potential in not just surviving but in actually fulfilling ones life! I only know one other book, the Bible that does not outsource this most essential issue to the established communication, political correctness, the trend, the share holder value and other dead words and mutations...
