Summary: Cliched and Patronizing
Review: The book is really easy to read and entertaining and maybe it makes us think of how good or not good is our relationship with nature. But that is about it. It is completely cliched and patronizing. I think is very silly and stereotypical the way she pictures the Western people as being so materialist and so far away from understanding nature. Was her life really so shallow and superficial before coming to this "spiritual journey"?

Summary: No Stars
Review: This was dreadful...Very poorly written, boring, and obvious fiction made to look like nonfiction. Amazon - please give us a no star category...this one doesn't deserve the one star I was forced to give it.

Summary: Not supported by Aboriginal Australia
Review: **********WARNING...THIS BOOK IS NOT SUPPORTED BY INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIANS************** Let it be known that this and any other publications making reference to any of the author's so called associations with Indigenous Australians has been collectively denounced by Aboriginal communities Australia wide...This publication is actually offensive on many levels so I would advise any potential buyers to re-think their selection and actually make an effort to aquire Authentic Indigenous Publications or seek further advice.

Summary: Spiritual and ecologically friendly !!
Review: I never ask to my self if any story could be real or merely fiction. I just hold the book and let flow the massage the author is trying convey. We, "the mutants", moved away from the original idea that could fulfill our existence. This book is an invitation to meditate about our live in a very honest way.

Summary: Uncritical New-Age drivel.
Review: Let me summarize the simplistic message of this book: everything about the Aboriginal "real people's" culture is great and everything about "mutant" Western civilization sucks by comparison. We have no understanding of nature or of each other, and are miles behind this ancient tribe in spiritual evolution. Yet she came back. The philosophy was all so cliched and uncritically accepted by the author. The only genuinely interesting claims of this narrative, that 1) the tribe communicates telepathically, and 2) they can effect almost instantaneous spiritual healing of a serious wound, go largely unexamined. She accepts the miracles at face value and makes little attempt to explain them, verify them, or learn them. This was a pathetic book.

Summary: true or not, a lot to think about
Review: to read a book CAN bring you to another point of view, this book isn't a exception. This book does no harm, there is no killing, no fighting or any violence like in the world we are livin.I am fascinated by readers reviews. It seems to me that everyone who read this book was faced with his own charakter and fear. May be quite normal?! If you don't care about the true value, about the true aboriginal culture, the autenthic fauna, the writing stile, the money the autor had earned with, you will be able to start your journey to yourself. This is the true value of this book. You will never know austrias culture by knowing me or my mother or an autrian farmer. If I describe you my drink on the table by my terms "half full" you can say it's "half empty". However, I like to read the book.

Summary: The ultimate workshop
Review: The mainstream people(mutants) focus on the trading zones (Galison) between them and are thus in danger to waste their lives by mutating and reengineering it. The message to those mutants in this great book is: Life starts when you transcend the trading zone und relate being to being in view of the necessities of life and the urge to fulfill it...

Summary: Comprehensive and inspiring.
Review: Morgan's work described an adventure that, if fictional, was still accurate, perhaps, in the ordeals that she and the aborigines went through for survival. She was, however, slightly less than enthralling in her writing style. It was well written and believable, and a philosophical observation if nothing else.

Summary: Opened my mind, heart and soul
Review: I bought this book on a recommendation from my history teacher. We had spent the year learning about how indigenous people had/are losing their land and culture. She said this book was a heart warming experience in which you could learn from. She was right! I was unable to put the book down. At the time I was living in Washington D.C., I read the book every day riding the metro into the city. This book opened my mind to things that I had forgotten about, to things I had no idea were possible and gave me a new hope. There have been many times in my life when I have thought about this book and it has helped me through rough times. I feel this book teaches us a bit of historical culture (in fictional form) while learning that the power that we feel we don't have is deep down inside of us all.
