Mutant Message Down Under is the fictional account of an American woman's spiritual odyssey through outback Australia. An underground bestseller in its original self-published edition, Marlo Morgan's powerful tale of challenge and endurance has a message for us all.
Summoned by a remote tribe of nomadic Aborigines to accompany them on walkabout, the woman makes a four-month-long journey and learns how they thrive in natural harmony with the plants and animals that exist in the rugged lands of Australia's bush. From the first day of her adventure, Morgan is challenged by the physical requirements of the journey—she faces daily tests of her endurance, challenges that ultimately contribute to her personal transformation.
By traveling with this extraordinary community, Morgan becomes a witness to their essential way of being in a world based on the ancient wisdom and philosophy of a culture that is more than 50,000 years old.

I'm so confused as to what to say about this book. My friend was given a copy to read from her friend as he stated it was his favourite book. I thought it would be like The Celestine Prophecy, The Alchemist, or other such spiritual quest novels. I loved listening to it on audio and finished it very quickly.
Initially I gave it a five star review until I found out about the controversy/how the Aboriginal People feel about it. I have since abstained from rating it. Overall, many of the messages rang true to my heart. I have had a lifetime of mystical experiences that I have yet to share that would sound completely made-up to most people, so I yearn for books that speak to what I “know.”
