Commentary/review

Much too long. It starts off very well and ends with an incoherent ramble, as if the publisher pushed the good stuff to the front but still left everything else in the final product.

Curiously, the Author, a Catholic theologian, includes Buddha and Rumi among the saints. This attitude is wholesome and inspiring. Another “progressive” element is Author’s position on environmental protection. I wish more Catholics voiced that view.

The narrator is committed and emotional. The fragment about death of a dog is the most heartfelt fragment I have ever encountered in audiobooks.

The cover is pretty grandiose, like the American wilderness.
