jpmaguire2 's review for:
The Red Book
by Carl G. Jung
It may be the case that the print version of this book with illustrations is cool. I listened to the audiobook and had no clue what was going on at all.
1) The preface is long and convoluted. This was literally the longest preface I've ever seen. It was clearly written to appease the Jung Family estate. I didn't feel it added much to my actual comprehension of the book.
2) The vast majority of this book is like viewing someone else's dream without getting any insight into what any of it means. Despite having read and enjoyed several other of Jung's books, I had no idea what the significance of this one was. The characters, their comments, the plotlines all seemed to jump around without meaning. I can see why Jung was extremely hesitant during his lifetime to consider ever having this published.
