Breakfast with Buddha: A Novel Audiobook

" This book was sometimes slow moving, which made it kind of tough to stay with. It was nicely written, not a hard read, but I did find the ending kind of odd. When a book doesn't end as strong as it starts, I find that overall I am not crazy about it. That was the case with this book. "

" While the ending was a bit abrupt, the journey was worth it. It was a great exploration of the BIG questions of life. There was also something for the travel buff and the foodie. Overall, a great read. "

" I really enjoyed this book - lessons for us all but just a good story. "

" The best word for this book: nice. Not great, just nice. A good message, agreeable characters, and a simple, straightforward plot where you can see the end coming made it a 'cozy' book. It felt like a mid-90s buddy comedy. More than half the book was about the variety of food eaten on the journey. If you have the book handy, and time to spare, it could be worth the read for a comfortable story. But I wouldn't expect you to find anything you haven't seen before. "

" Fun to read, has a message but doesn't klunk you over the head with it. "

" I enjoyed this as a novel, and appreciated that the author doesn't take too serious or self-righteous a tone when discussing spirituality. "

" I'm not one for fiction books these days but I found some of the concepts and principles in Breakfast With Buddha were quite applicable. Roland Merullo does a nice job painting an image of the characters. This is a nice, light enjoyable read. "

" Fun adventure into two mental cultures colliding. Very enjoyable, makes you think about the way people think and our expectations of others we meet. "

" It was okay. Kind of preachy almost at some points. Cool cultural treat, though. I really enjoyed the journey (physical) the two take together, as well as their interactions. It wasn't as easy a read, though, as many Buddhist tenets pop up in lengthy discussion between the two. I enjoyed it, though. "

" I read this in 2 days. It is light and fun. Simple writing style, fast read. A happy book. "

" This was great. Made me feel very, very happy. "

" In light of recent goings-on in Tibet, now was a good time to pick this book up. F@#! China! Free Tibet! "

" what a fun ride. has a predictable ending and I'm not sure it is realistic, but still an enjoyable read "

" Kinda elementary spiritual stuff. Pleasant read. "

" Fun, light book exploring the basics of life. I've read many books on the subject, been to monasteries, practice meditation and try to live the principles, it was fun to read a novel about the subject. "

" This was a wonderful journey into the mind of a skeptic that becomes someone to embrace the mystic. "

" Otto takes an unplanned road trip with his sister's guru to deal with the family estate in North Dakota. What's not to love about this? Very fun. All families should read! "

" LOVED THIS BOOK. Great insights so funny and the main character is someone all of us can relate to. "

" I was surprised by this book. I really enjoyed it, and it provided a lot of food for thought. Recommended. "

" I love this author. He is one of my favorites and I loved this book. Reading it was a joyful experience. "

" A coming of age story - I don't CARE if the narrator was in his forties!! Narrator opens his eyes to alternate spiritual paths. not a bad yarn. "

" Funny how this book actually strenthened my Christian faith. "

" It was hard for me to get through this book because it was so relevant to me. All about balance and the search for it, and the larger meaning of what we do every day. I didn't expect to like it, but I ended up loving it and am constantly thinking about how it has affected me. "

" I have only reread a few books in my lifetime. This is one I plan to add to the short list. It's thought-provoking, gentle and funny--a great combination. "

" Loved this book! Without being preachy at all--in fact, in lighthearted and entertaining fashion--this book made me think about my own priorities in life. "

" I couldn't finish it. I felt like I was reading a lifetime/oxygen channel movie. It was too ridiculous. "

" I thought it was a well written book and makes you think about life. I was a little disappointed with the ending but overall it was a good read. "

" what a fun ride. has a predictable ending and I'm not sure it is realistic, but still an enjoyable read "

" I really enjoyed this book - lessons for us all but just a good story. "

" Fun little read. Self deprecating, spiritual and funny. Not to be taken too seriously...but some good little gems in it. "

" Really enjoyed this book...the story struck some chords, and provided gems throughout the read. "

" Loved. Perhaps because the philosophy behind this book is right where I'm at right now. This book quenched a thirst that I didn't know I had until I started reading it. I'd highly recommend. "
