breenmachine's review against another edition
3.0
Found this book because it was on AOC's reading list. There was a good part where he explained society taking care of each other (similar to democratic socialist ideas).
The subject matter was relatively interesting, but it was hard to me to concentration and focus on - I think it was the writing style.
I enjoyed the comparison of the Hopi Indian creation story vs the Biblical one.
The parts about speaking to animals seemed rather long-winded and rambled on.
I liked the last chapter "The Search in Identity".
I'm curious to read more of Thurman's works - I'm going to read Jesus and the Disinherited next.
"Men, all men, belong to each other and he who shuts himself away diminishes himself, and he who shuts another away from him destroys himself."

I think this in a reality more of a 4 star read, but I had a hard time understanding it, making for a less than 4 star reading experience. I think I will probably reread it in a few years and more fully appreciate it.
