Customer Reviews of Teachings of Don Juan
Customer Rating:
Review Summary: Very Unique Read
Review: This is a unique story of a man's path to knowledge through the use of hallucinates. It's a classic that any open-minded reader will enjoy. I would like to see the original cover printed again.

Review Summary: Can't Be Beat
Review: I have read half of Castaneda's books, and I feel the first 4 are very very good. Honestly the 5th kind of lost my attention for some reason. Those who do not approve of entheogens should skip the first two and read Journey to Ixtlan, instead. For those nitpicking about whether or not this is fiction, no offense intended honestly, but I'm just going to have to laugh at you.

Review Summary: Entertaining but false
Review: Having read several of Castanedas books and been strongly influenced by them as a youth, it was with great sadness that I subsequently found them to be almost completely imaginary. If you care to research Castaneda you will find that most of his experiences of flying through the air, encountering supernatural Mexican wisemen, receiving transcendental illumination etc etc happened while he was sitting in the library at UCLA. Many of the dates in the books are contradictory, much of the alleged herbal knowledge is potentially dangerous and essentially the bottom line is that you would be well advised to take all these books with a very large grain of salt. However that being said, they are fairly well written, quite entertaining and do contain some measure of truth after all. So go figure...

Review Summary: Enter the world of the sorcerer
Review: An excellent book about the first steps of Carlos Castaneda to become a man of knowledge. A book that has it all. Funny, enlightening and mysteries.

Review Summary: Reading Between The Lines
Review: Don Juan possesses the wisdom of the ancients . Getting away from your babbling inanities and shutting down the internal dialog, you might just ask the question?" What is the Matrix"?
