[EX Q]: An Excellent Police Thriller! . If you only read one book in the Shane Scully series, this book should be it! It offers a storyline unlike the same-old, same-old cop stories one gets used to
[EX A]: POS

[EX Q]: If you would like to see how a psychic lives her life and how . her abilities affect her, then this diary will interest you. Ms. Choquette comes across as a charming, friendly person whom one would love to have over for dinner. She writes about her parents (especially her mother) and how her large family was close and sort of quirky. She describes her early psychic experiences and her training with two teachers who open her abilities up even more and teach her about life.     The most enjoyable part of the book for me was the descriptions Sonia gave of clients, mostly from the 70s -- lime green hot pants, bouffant hairdos, tie-dyed t-shirts and platform shoes...those were the days...how did anyone get a date back then?      The only criticism I have about the book is that Ms. Choquette  mentions several times that her family was Catholic and religiously so. I do not doubt her family's religious sensbilities, but the Church teaches against almost everything that Sonia practices and believes -- reincarnation, clairvoyance, ascended masters, divination with tarot cards, spirit guides, etc. I don't think it is possible to be a Catholic in the sense of someone who believes in the dogmas of the Church and be a New Ager as Sonia is. She also says that she prayed the rosary before her readings and one of her teachers said that she would attract only good spirits that way, but she also needed to pray the Our Father. The rosary requires the recitation of the Our Father at least 6 times, so I was confused when Sonia said she then began to pray the Our Father as well. I wonder what rosary she was praying.

[EX Q]: Not hippy new age philosophy taoism . For good and ill, I am one of the hippy westerners the book talks about.  The little I know of Taoism I know from a conversation with a friend and reading The Tao of Pooh.  I bought this book while trying to learn more.    The book is very up front about contradicting the seemingly widely held (western) view that Taoism is largely about attitude and how you live life.  This book is not about philosophy.  The book is concrete how-to advice about practicing Taoism in a traditional manner.  Different sections explain how to make your own altar and wand to use in rituals, why taoists should never participate in felatio, and introduce a whole pantheon of dieties to worship.  It would also make a much better source for a school report about a religion than a philosophy text would.    In general, I found the book interesting but not what I needed.    From the start, I was turned off by the tone of the book.  The introduction takes the attitude that new agers are messing up Taoism and people interested in it as a philosophy should get lost.  It makes some pretty broad declaratory statements about how all Taoists live their lives, and tries very hard to push a "one right way" to being a Taoist.  The book could easily be completely right, and I'm not an expert to say it isn't, but either it wasn't what I was looking for or Taoism isn't what I am looking for
