I did NOT like it! I felt it was too simplistic

It seems that my journey reading this book is two-fold. Initially, I did NOT like it! I felt it was too simplistic, that it lacked language sophistication and elegant prose, and that it did not add anything to my knowing. Still, I kept reading. I am one of those who keeps on reading even if I'm not thrilled about a book. I mean, it would have to be awful for me to just put it down. I tend to hold out for hope...hoping it improves, and that is exactly what happened with Untethered Soul. The first 14 chapters were hard for me (for the above reasons), but then something kicked in around chapter 15, and that 'something' stayed until the end. I suppose one could just skip all the way to the chapter on unconditional happiness and go from there.

I think it's fair to say that perhaps my feelings for this book is due to the fact that I'm not new to the subject of consciousness, energy-vibration, being the 'witness' or the 'watcher' of self, etc. I've been reading Eastern thought, Ernest Holmes, Osho, and the like for more years than I know. I'm sure this has impacted my overall view of Untethered Soul. If you're a beginner, go for it! Perhaps you'll find the book to be wonderful. If you're not a beginner, I say, grab a Krishnamurti read and press on.

Congrats to the author for his journey to this knowing, and for his success!

I found the story too simplistic, almost boring. There was no suspense, intrigue or excitement. It seemed more like an essay.

When I read this book, it was due to piqued interest and the same contest another reviewer put it in. At first it was somewhat enjoyable, but by the end, it was an irritation. I did not like it for a variety of reasons.

1. The characters were cardboard cut-outs of human beings put up to make a simplistic plot in the guise of complexity and depth seem interesting. Howard Roark was needlessly irritating, unlike L'etranger, where the detachment and utter nihilism of the character is interesting, in the context of this book it is just pointless. I was rooting for him to compromise. I am aware that these characters are ideals, but Ideals can have more than one character trait, you just have to put more emphasis on one trait.

2. the dialog, this dialog is hard to describe. Most of it is repeated versions of the same phrase and almost always contradictory points on the same thing. I can't even remember it, But I remember the frustration of reading constantly contradictory remarks and the subjects not even reacting to the utter stupidity of it.

3. The subject matter. I didn't find it interesting, at all, I know to each his.her own can be applied here, and for me it didn't work

4. Finally, the philosophy, goodness gracious, It's ok to have philosophical tid bits, but to dedicate 30 pages to one speech about why it's good to be selfish is just the most annoying thing ever. Sure, having a philosophy is fine, sure you can be vocal about it. But at what point does it move from philosophical to proselytizing? I'd say Rand walks that thing line very loosely and I'm not a fan. Not to mention her Philosophy being very shallow

So these are my thoughts on the work. To those who like the work and feel I am a troll, feel free to call me one, I will not say your opinion is wrong simply because I didn't like the work. There is no such thing as an Objective opinion (no pun intended)and I can't claim there is. Feel free to bash my grammar, I know it is terrible and despite my writer aspirations it is something I am still awful at. If you read this, I hope I wasn't harsh to the point of being unreasonable. In defense of the book it was easy to read and had a relatively streamlined plot, but these glaring problems made it hard for me to enjoy this.

This was not what I thought it was and I really did not care for it.

I didn't like it. Story felt contrived and it was not exciting.  There were times when I thought the author couldn't done a lot more with the plot and it just kind of fell flat.

I seriously didn't like it and thought it was rather boring. Can't believe I got sucked into this. I'm feeling a pattern is in place.

This was my first David Wolfe book and I really didn't care for it.  I felt it was way too simplistic and spent too much time on incidental details.  No real suspense and no real surprises.  I will probably read another as anyone can have a down book.  I advise not starting out with this one.

I found the writing simplistic, the female lead emotionally and mentally weak, and the male lead obnoxious. But, yet, I read the entire thing.

I was asked and given the free ebook "A Layman's Guide To Managing Fear" to review. I wanted to like it. After reading it, I found I could not relate to the obviously made up people. The terminology seemed to waiver in consistency (fear, phobia, etc) and in audience seeming more meant for counselors or family members rather than people dealing with fear themselves. The meat of the book is expressed in its less than 2-pg summary, the rest of the book is filler of little insight or use.

I found it somewhat boring and I did not really like it. (There is not a lot to say about it)
