Surprisingly enjoyable book. Unexpected.

I didn't really know what I was getting into when I reserved this from the library - I had it mixed up with some other book that I can't remember now. I did read it though and by the end of it I was really enjoying it. I was definitely ready to put it down when I realized it was another spiritual awakening book but for some reason I kept reading and as I did, I warmed up to it, as I suppose Otto warmed to his companion along his journey. I found it funny and light in the way it approached something very serious - it even made me try a little yoga! ( )

A guru and a skeptic take a cross-country drive which awakens each of them to the lessons they individually offer.

This is a very interesting story about an upper middle class book editor who is living an ideal life in NY with his wife, two children and dog when his parents are suddenly killed in a car accident. He needs to go to N. Dakota to settle the estate and he thinks his sister is going with him. However, his sister who is somewhat flaky & makes her meager living as a psychic, wants him to take her monk boyfriend instead and show him America. The road trip is tedious at first because Otto resents having to death someone so different. After the initial adjustment he begins to warm to his ideas & attitudes & realizes he has much to learn about spirituality. At times the book is funny & also thought provoking. I enjoyed it very much. ( )
