Summary: Understanding our Soul`s Journey
Review: Shirley MacLaine's journey and mine have been similar in our search for understanding what makes us tick. I believe that being true to ourselves, no matter what, is the essential requirement for happiness. She has shown this throughout her life and her courage to let the world know what she saw and experienced is proof of what she believes. This is by far the most revealing and powerful book yet about the soul's roots. Our openess to her revelations and non-judgemental mind will also help us find an answer to "Who Am I?".Lise

Summary: Awesome, Wonderful, Great, Magnanimous!
Review: This book is very, very wonderful. I just love it so much! You should be open-minded spiritually, and believe in reincarnation, to read it. Shirley adds her modern day humour to her journey, it is not just a journey on foot, it is a journey of going within. I love her description of simultaneous reality. This book is very deep. If you are an open-minded spiritualist, you will love it and not be disappointed.

Summary: It was like deja vu.
Review: I could not put this book down. I felt like I was with the traveler each step of her journey and I felt familiar to the experiences she was having. Thank you, Ms MacLaine, for sharing your journey. I feel something long forgotten in me that I now must rekindle. Your words were too familiar for me not to listen. I hope many more hear you, too.

Summary: Courageous Spiritual Odyssey
Review: Shirley Maclaine dares to to show us that spirituality is an inner quest of knowledge and experience, not the filtered/censcored dogma of the orthodoxy. Further recommended books for those on the spiritual path are- "The Four Agreements" by Miguel Ruiz ; "Meditation" by Sri Chinmoy ; "KYBALION" by Three Initiates ; "Meeting the Monkey Half Way" by Bhikkhu ; "Secret Life of Nature" by Peter Tompkins ; "ZELATOR" by Mark Hedsel.

Summary: Wonderful Reading!
Review: Dear future reader of The Camino: A Journey of the Spirit, I envy you. Something magnificently beautiful is waiting for you in this book. Open your mind, forget all prejudices and boundaries and just enjoy one of the most fascinating books published recently. Do not try to define it in any way - it is not like anything you ever read. Elements of documental fiction, New Age spirituality, science fiction are all here mixed together into something uncommon, something fresh and new. You will be tempted many times during your reading of this book to actually accomplish Camino yourself and to have your own "visions" of global truth. But that is exactly what makes this book ingenious - you do not need to. Together with many other readers you will be accomplishing your "virtual" pilgrimage just by reading this book. By imagining the journey and by sharing the powerful emotional thoughts of Shirley MacLaine you will be participating in the global process of mass meditation with the concentration on this wonderful reading and on the actual pilgrimage itself. By means of modern media Shirley MacLaine accomplished unthinkable - she led us through Camino and allowed to understand something very important on this "virtual" journey. She made Camino the center of information attention of all her readers and her fans and in this way allowed thousands of people to reach through time and space and unconsciously receive some very important information, for which people for centuries actually accomplished this strange journey.

Summary: Yawn...
Review: This book is not about insights gained while walking the Camino, it is just a reiteration of the author's metaphysical beliefs. Just New Age fluff. For the serious researcher into reincarnation, spirituality, consciousness, etc. I recommend the Seth books by Jane Roberts.

Summary: The Camino
Review: One of my friends at work gave me Shirley's new book, and I was thrilled. In the traditional Christian world, Shirley MacLaine is one of those people who would be on the "LIST"---forbidden to any God-fearing, Bible believing Christian. I used to carry Shirley's books around in brown paper bags and pull them halfway out and read them when nobody was looking. Our preacher would be talking about how "Shirley MacLaine has lost her mind," and I'd be reading her books under the pews and thinking, "She makes more sense than the preacher." In Christian college, I got called on the carpet when somebody decided to investigate one of my brown bags to see if I was sneaking alcohol. GOD FORBID, he found something WORSE--one of Shirley MacLaine's novels, which would surely send me to hell faster than booze. Needless to say, my days in the traditional Christian experience were short-lived. I think Shirley MacLaine is amazing! I think she's one of the bravest women alive. She has never been afraid to share her spiritual journeys for the benefit of those who can "receive" them and at the cost of personal ridicule from those who cannot. People are criticizing this book and saying it was not about the Camino but about her own inner journey. I would have been disappointed had it not been. I don't care if Shirley walks the Camino, the Appalachian Trail, or walks to the corner drugstore. I want to know what happened to her spiritually along the way. This is a wonderful book for all fellow "Pilgrims" and "Sojourners in a Strange Land."

Summary: Mind expanding
Review: Like all of Shirley Maclaine's books, The Camino reminds us that there's more to life than the here and now. It inspires and lifts your imagination to really think about "why are we here". Ms. Maclaine has done a lot of that exploration for us.
