"this is the second castaneda "Don Juan" book. i didn't read the first one. it's hard to explain why i liked this book. i guess the character of Don Juan is just so cool. any story about a young idiot going out in the desert and meeting an old hermit who tries to teach him how to stop being such a fool, you can't really go wrong."

— Rob (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “One can’t exaggerate the significance of what Castaneda has done…A Separate Reality is extraordinary in every sense of the word.”

    — New York Times
  • “In A Separate Reality [Castaneda’s] adventure dramatically broadens to disclose in the trampled culture of the American Indian a secret spiritual tradition that produces men of profound character and eerie psychological powers.” 

    — Life
  • “In this book, Castaneda’s reportage is more subjective, his descriptions of tutelage under don Juan are more vivid and his experiences are even more amazing.”

    — Los Angeles Times

    " This is the third book in the series, and I like it best of the first three. It starts getting into the techniques of Don Juan's teaching, and there are no more references to peyote usage. So it's now about impeccability and learning to conserve energy to have power. Good read. "
