Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
One might think Dr. Chopra, New Age guru and best-selling self-help author, has his hands full explaining how we can all have ageless bodies and timeless minds, but apparently he has enough spare moments to dabble in fiction. He's taken on a daunting task for himself: re-creating the Camelot legend in modern dress and decorating it with New Age messages about reincarnation, redemption, and a reminder that we are all magical creatures. That's a lot for one book to take on, and Merlin often crumbles under the weight of its thematic baggage. That's too bad, because the tale itself, set mostly in modern England, does have a magical quality as it portrays Merlin and Mordred, each assisted by a revolving cast of characters, fighting for control of our outer and inner worlds. Some pages are riveting and others numbing, suggesting that part of the problem lies in the editing. It's not a good sign when a novel comes with a key (in this case, instructions on how to understand the symbolism); worse, when an author feels burdened to tell us that his story "is meant to be understood on many levels," it's a sure bet that the book is in danger of not being understood on any level. Considering Chopra's celebrity and his ability to gather publicity, this opus is certain to be in demand; whether it will actually be read is another question. Ilene Cooper

Format:Taschenbuch
I found myself truly enjoying and wrapped up in this continuation and interpretation of the Arthurian legend in modern time--I found myself reading at every available minute of my day. I also enjoyed the subtle lessons hidden in the story and the characters, although I found myself forgetting to look for the lessons many times as I became involved in the story. The characters are intriguing and quite worthy of following on their journeys--particularily Sis and Tommy. I was a little sad it ended--although Deepak has left it open to another story(?). I liked every word of it, the words themselves were well chosen and painted an amazing picture.
All in all a very fun read--try it on for size yourself.

Deepak Chopra is a Pandora's box! You'll never guess how good a storyteller he is. He tells us a wonderful story full of magic and enchantment without forgeting to teach us the deep spiritual lessons he's taught us in his other books. Being faithfull to Merlin's character and lore, he's able to transform him into a master not only of magic but of deep spiritual wisdom as well. Couldn't put it down !

Imaginative & Mystical
Imaginative, mystical and very original, though somehow it bogs down near the end. A book not out of a mold, but very creative, unique and thought provoking.

Don't Give up your DAY job, just yet!
There was too much attention paid to the periferals of the surrounding environment(s). It is as if to make the book longer he just used filler words. Lesen Sie weiter...
