Book Reviews of Enlightenment for Idiots: A Novel
Book Review: Yogini Adventures!
Summary: 5 Stars
A really enjoyable read! Had trouble putting it down. Wonderful how this author creates an adventure as she explores India, yoga and relationships - she weaves a wonderful story. I have recommended the book to many friends and have given a couple as gifts to yoga friends. The descriptions of various yoga poses appearing throughout the book allow the reader to get a sense of what it must be like to do yoga and were very compelling. Don't do yoga myself but the book makes me want to begin!
Summary of Enlightenment for Idiots: A Novel
A yoga teacher finds new life in India?just not the one she was expecting.Nearing thirty, Amanda thought she?d be someone else by now. Instead, she?s an ex-nanny yogini-wannabe who cranks out ?For Idiots? travel guides. True, she has a sexy photographer boyfriend, but he?s usually off shooting a dogsled race in Alaska or a vision quest in Peru?or just hooking up with other girls. However, she?s sure her new assignment to the ashrams of India will change everything.
What she finds, though, is an ashram run by investment bankers, a model-obsessed guru, tantra parties, and silent retreats. India, it turns out, is not the spiritual refuge she?d pictured. But when a wandering mystic offers her an enigmatic blessing, Amanda realizes a new life may be in store for her after all.
