Book Reviews of My Ishmael
Book Review: Not Ishmael
Summary: 4 Stars
For lovers of Ishmael, this novel falls short of the power of the earlier Daniel Quinn piece. I agree with the critique of the American education system, but his "take your kids to work" concept is naive. It's worth reading, but don't expect it to change the way you look at the world the way Ishmael did.
Summary of My Ishmael
Winner of the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship, Daniel Quinn's Ishmael is a bestseller and a testament for a burgeoning spiritual movement.??Now Quinn presents an extraordinary sequel, a companion novel so startlingly original that even Ishmael's most faithful readers will not predict its outcome....When Ishmael places an advertisement for pupils with "an earnest desire to save the world," he does not expect a child to answer him.??But twelve-year-old Julie Gerchak is undaunted by Ishmael's reluctance to teach someone so young, and convinces him to take her on as his next student.??Ishmael knows he can't apply the same strategies with Julie that he used with his first pupil, Alan Lomax--nor can he hope for the same outcome.??But young Julie proves that she is ready to forge her own spiritual path--and arrive at her own destination.??And when the time comes to choose a pupil to carry out his greatest mission yet, Ishmael makes a daring decision--a choice that just might change the world.
