I found this difficult to like, although no doubt my reaction is rooted in bias. I don't have a lot of patience with mysticism at the best of times, so I don't think I'm the right audience for this book. Also, I rather get the impression that I've come in in the middle of a series, so I could be missing context.

I understand from the note at the end of the book that this is semi-autobiographical. Given this, I don't want to be too hard, but I simply could not warm to the main character. I don't know, I just found the whole thing a bit too self-congratulatory.
