  Terrific! And moving! And inspiring. I was familiar with Ishmael's theory in my own way before reading this novel, but I am glad and relieved to know that the knowledge and the awareness of what's wrong with humankind's attitude towards Life, the World, the Animals and Plants is spreading, despite all enemy forces keep trying to fight it back. I lost hope in Humankind years ago, but until such books, and thinkers, and writers, and common people do exist who embrace Ishmael's words and try to invent ex novo their life on Mother Earth, who knows... maybe tides will change.
  I hope this book will travel a lot and enlighten as many readers as possible. Give it a try, it will open your eyes and mind.

  I can see how this book could stir up buzz 15 years ago. But given the increasing awareness of the scale of destruction men have done to the earth, a substantial part of the book can be a repetition of what is already widely known and recognized. Yet, the argument of the book still appeals. Definately, live and let live.

  Interesting read, but a lot of out of date information. I understand it was pretty groundbreaking in it's time.
