Customer Reviews

Cheap but not at all nasty

This book was obviously cheaply produced and the cover design looks like a poster for a bad spaghetti western. This book is an excellent example of wisdom of the advice "don't judge a book by it's cover", and that phrase in itself is a precis of a plot which defies description.The book contains many interesting details about tibetan life. For instance, it answered my daughter's query about how the tibetan diet provides enough vitamin C.

A superb view of Asian religions

After spending 2 months in Nepal, I've been fascinated by far-eastern religions. This book does a wonderful job describing them from a practical aspect, i.e., how they apply to life. "Tibet...." also describes what life was like in Asia during what presumably is midevil times.A wonderful read.
