It was okay, hence the two stars. I leaned toward three stars but based off the hover over description of two stars I thought that was the best choice for me. The lessons contained are good, but anyone that has not learned these life lessons before apparently were raised much different than myself. The religion tied into the story was not expected and turned me off a bit until I got to the scrolls. But again, nothing different here if you had a solid family upbringing. Not a waste of time but not the life changing book I was led to believe.
