If you could sum up The Accidental Buddhist in three words, what would they be?
If I could sum up this book in three words, they would be funny, interesting and inspiring. The author's skeptical, yet sincere view is witty and entertaining. The subject matter is interesting and is presented in an organized and logical way. The book is inspiring, because it has lead me to also explore further some of the approaches presented here.What other book might you compare The Accidental Buddhist to and why?
I really haven't read any books that would compared to it.Have you listened to any of Jack Hawkins’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I haven't. I only had one gripe about his reading and that was for his gross mispronunciation of "Yuengling", when referencing Yuengling beer in the story. Thank goodness it only occurred once.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, many laughs. Nothing to cry about, though.Any additional comments?
Having known the author personally for many years, I just find it to be a shame that he himself didn't narrate the book. His inflection and wit would have come across much stronger, had it been his own performance. But, for most other people that wouldn't matter at all.An Interesting look at one man's exploration.

What did you love best about The Accidental Buddhist?
I'm someone who's been exploring religion and Buddhism for a while, trying to understand my own spirituality. I enjoyed this read as I related to the author in a number of ways. It's a lighthearted easy short read (listen) and I can see myself listen to it again a few times over.A really good read if contemplating Buddhism

Additionally, I thought it was important to admit that I had seriously thought about returning this title. I didn't like it, I wouldn't re-listen to it, & those are usually reasons I might consider returning the title. But first, I chose to bring focused awareness to the my decision making process and realized that I very much wanted to be read this book and the reader and publisher went to the effort to make it available to me in this format. So who am I to refuse to help pay them for the experience. So I will keep the book. Maybe at some point I will be able to offer it to someone else who is in a place in their lives that it will help them as it helped me upon my first reading.

If this book sounds interesting to you, pick it and you won't find it to be a disappointment. I enjoyed it. If it sounds dumb, don't pick. I suspect many would not like this selection, might react "what rot".
ineresting and worthwhile
