Summary: LIFE-CHANGING ,EYE OPENING
Review: In short My Ishmael was probably the best book I've ever read.It will give you a totally new vision of the world and our place in it as TAKERS.It explains how our way of life is the most laborous,depressing,and destructive way of life ever practiced in human history.I would recommend this book to anyone young or old and esspecially people who are not enjoying how they're currently living.(I have a hunch that's about 99 percent of the world.)Also I would recommend any other book written by Daniel Quinn.I esspecially enjoyed three specific chapters in this book,they were entitled "School Daze","School Daze 2",and "Unschooling the World."It might have something to do with the fact that Im a sophomore in high school.Anyways,just make sure you read this book,you'll be glad you did!

Summary: deep resonance
Review: This book, along with "Ismael", contains ideas which until now have been lurking just beneathe the consciousness of myself and, I suspect, most people. The words and examples Ishmael gives are so clear and inspiring that I, a slower reader, was able to read this book in record time and still hunger for more.

Summary: IMPORTANT!
Review: Daniel Quinn's works present a stunning, plain-language tutorial on What's Wrong With The World. If you care about the future of humanity, you must read these books!

Summary: Unmissable
Review: Hardly had I finished reading Ishmael that I badly craved the sequel - which turned out to be greater and more accomplished. Naturally, I can't say I would have reached the same level of enthrallment had I not read Ishmael. This time, through the mind of an adolescent, the world IS fathomable and redeemable. I'm recommending the book to everyone I know, as I've never done before!

Summary: Read it, if you want to survive...
Review: This is the third book in the trilogy of Daniel Quinn concerning our future on this planet...The things he's telling us through his characters are so new and yet so ancient and wise. If you ever wondered "how things became like this?" or "what is wrong with people?" or "do I have to get up every morning and work 8-12 hours?" this book will provide you with answers and you won't have to join some religion or cult or anything like that... This book (as well as two others in the trilogy) will make you see through all the lies of our civilization, including east and west religions as well as our political and economic leaders... The best yet, it doesn't teach you "how to be satisfied with less of what you have" or "how to achieve spiritual peace"! It's the best blueprint for saving the world WITH people in it so far... All three books are novels, so you will not feel like being preached all the time. You may say some twists or ending are predictable, but that doesn't matter. If you're falling out of a plane to your doom and someone gives you a parachute, you won't be asking what colour is it... Read it, if you want to survive! ...

Summary: Quinn does it again
Review: As thought provoking in this sequel as he was in Ishmael, Daniel Quinn has successfully birthed the New Tribal Revolution. As much as I wanted to begin another of his books right away, I found I needed time to reflect on the profound effect these two have had on me.

Summary: YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK
Review: Read them all--multiple times. Every human of "taker" culture--all of us--is in need of this knowledge if we are to survive on this planet. Not a single person I know has read it and not experienced an incredible change in worldview.

Summary: It'll change your world view but you won't read it in school
Review: Possibly a better book than Ishmael (read Ishmael first if you haven't already). It will change the way you see native cultures, industry, agriculture, and the school system. Read this, and see the world for what it very well could be!

Summary: Ishmael changed my mind
Review: I love this book for many reasons. One, when I read this, I was Julie. I was sitting in the chair across from Ishmael; I was asking Ishmael questions; I was absorbing the answers to those questions. I relate to Julie on so many levels: her misunderstanding of the world and the resulting confusion being the primary one. I grew and exalted with her. Two, Ishmael relays most of the facts as metaphors. To me, the use of stories to prove a point is much more effective than just laying out the bare facts. A story is much easier to follow; I can really wrap my mind around the situations better. Three, the message is so appealing to me. I think one of the reasons it appeals to me so much is because I believe that my soul is an extension of the Universe; it is that vast and far-reaching. What I mean is that I don't just occupy the physical space where I am sitting right now; my soul extends outward from within and allows me to feel the world. I don't know if you can understand this; it's rather hard for me to articulate. In fact, I think that is the first time I have ever tried to do so. But anyway, it all boils down to this: because I can feel the pain of the world, I am certain that our way of life cannot last, and now, due to this little piece of fiction,I understand that there is another way. However, I do not think that Ishmael was trying to say that humans should go back to living like "cavemen," which is the quick conclusion that a lot of people have made concerning this novel. I think he just meant that we need to greatly, if not completely, reduce the progression. Most people spend their lives working meaningless jobs, and are dead before they ever figure out how to live a meaningful and truly satisfying life (and no, by satisfying I don't mean having loads of cash and material possessions). I think he thinks we need to slow down, and take the time to cultivate a good, sustainable life instead of being in a constant state of change. -an excerpt from a book review off my site: www.geocities.com/magisteria Please visit; there are many more book reviews there.
