review 1: I was given Tantric Coconuts for free with the promise of a review through Blogging for Books. From the synopsis this seemed like a cute read, maybe even funny. This was my first time reading anything from Gregory Kincaid, I hadn't even really heard of him. I do like to venture into different genres of books than I usually like reading, you never know when and where you will discover a favorite...unfortunately this was so out of my league that I could barely finish it.Tantric Coconuts is a philosophical and spiritual story with a little bit of a romance sprinkled here and there. The main characters are Ted Day, a workaholic lawyer who on the death of grandfather decides to take up a road trip in said grandfathers RV; and Angel Two Sparrow, a Native American driving around ... moreAmerica in her Aunts bookmobile as a spiritual consultant to those in need of a good spiritual make over. It seems cute right? For me there was just way too much analogue on spirituality and philosophy, concepts that I find somewhat hard to understand and frankly boring. This isn't necessarily a bad book.The writing is good and the characters are definitely interesting. The concept is a good idea and creative. My one and only problem is that I'm just not into religions, spirituality, and especially not philosophy. There was too much of a lecture feeling in a lot of the dialogue between the characters, which to be fair I really shouldn't have been surprised.
review 2: This book seems like religion or spirituality 101 -If you ever wanted to know a little bit about different religions and how they all fit together, this book is for you. Its like taking a bunch of different self help/spirituality books mashing them together and throwing in a love story. I really struggled through this book. Maybe because I have read most of those books individually and the definitions and discussions of different philosophies was a little too rudimentary for me but I also just felt it plodded along. I think some people will find it fascinating and a good primer, and others will find it tedious and boring, some will find it offensive and others will put it down after a few pages. I'm somewhere in the middle. I thought it was good although I struggled with staying awake through information that I feel has already been told to me by the writers that are quoted or annotated in the book. If you are looking for something and don't really know what it is this might be the book for you, otherwise you may want to take a pass. less
