Waiting for Autumn

I wanted to like this book much more than I eventually did and that may be due, in part, to my outsized expectations. I'd hoped that reading about the author's spiritual journey would help me understand my own a little better, but too often I found myself getting frustrated at his writing style and in some places it overshadowed the many interesting aspects of his transformation.

If you're able to focus more on the building blocks of the author's awakening and ignore the pacing, dialogue, and exposition irregularities, you'll see glimmers of a great story. In the hands of a more skillful editor or perhaps a ghost writer, this could have been great.
