Book Reviews of The Ending of Time (Dialogue)
Book Review: Barely Readable.
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is the transcript of a large number of dialogues between Krishnamurti and Bohm. You could say they discuss abstract philosophical issues. You could also say they are babble like they are stoned and forgot what they were talking about. That's the way it seemed to me.Book Review: The Wasting of Time
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a pointless book full of ungrounded mental and philosophical masturbation. Don't expect to come away changed by this book. The blurb on the back cover suggests that humankind can change fundamentally but don't expect to be shown how. Oh no, anything resembling commonsense in this book is kept suitably mysterious. It's a maddening conversation occasionally brought into focus by the contribution of Bohm.
It is instructive to read what Bohm thought of Krishnamurti's teachings down the track, later in life. Here is an example: "One may wonder whether such a person as K claims to be is at all possible. But leaving this question aside there is overwhelming reason to doubt that he is what he claims to be." (page 327 Infinite Potential - The Life and Times of David Bohm; paperback edition Addison Wesley).
Book Review: Pass the joint.

Yuk! and they call this the disemination of ideas.I am with hawkesed (another reviewer) in considering
this book a waste of ink on paper. Written in a dialogue
style of Socrates, it was difficult to maintain a line of
though as these two in discussion jump all over the place.
This makes reading difficult for me and surely does not help
the disemination of any ideas. I'm sure these two had
something to say, but they did not say it to me.
Purchasing this book was a waste of money and shelf space.
Sorry Thomas.
Book Review: A Waste of Time
Summary: 1 Stars
K was such a clever businessman. He would invite the gullible Bohm over for "talks", then have the talks recorded, then cobbled into a book that his foundation sold for profit; allowing him to travel the world on a virtually unlimited expense account! It's so interesting that K who knew absolutely nothing about physics and had no scientific training whatsoever, always led the discussion with typically "murky" questions, such as "Can there be an end to time"? This book like the other exchanges with Bohm, is mostly a "big waste of time".Book Review: such a waste of paper!
Summary: 1 Stars
If these two men were so intelligent and had such insight, why did they waste their time on a game of trivial pursuit?
They fully beleived they knew all and had the final sayso on
everything. They also were not sure they wanted to share this info with just anyone except to write a book and cash in on their 'secret knowledge'.
