Summary: Great Feminist Novel
Review: I love books like this. Wonderful story with a strong female message. I have always found the idea of time travel fascinating and it was really interesting to read this take on it. My favorite part of the book was observing how a woman from a society that was domainated by women, interacted in the male dominant society of today. This book is short, but it's a rare gem! If you happen to run across this dont' pass it up!

Summary: a fun, inspiring read
Review: I read Amazon in about two days. It's a nice short, fun read. It tells the story of an ancient Amazon living in the Black Sea area, who enters a Goddess temple for a vision quest, and wakes up in modern day America. The book details her perceptions, as a woman from a matrilineal, female honoring society, of modern day America. A lot of perceptions are painfully obvious, such as her thoughts on television, food, and spousal abuse. But it's fun to read her reactions to these situations. It's a juvenile sort of inspiration, but totally worth it if you have a few days and an interest in the Goddess religions.

Summary: Absolutely spellbinding!
Review: This book was obviously based on the author's extensive knowledge of the past. And what a glorious past it was! A past when The Great Mother was revered and worshipped by all, instead of by isolated pockets of Womyn (and non-patricarchial Men), a past which honored Our Sacred Womyn's Bodies, a past in which all of the Mother's creatures, human and non-human alike were treated with respect, a past in which Her rivers ran free and Her skies were clear and Her Sacred Breath smelled sweet... How amusing to see our world through the eyes of that fabled creature an Amazon Warrior! How ridiculos we look! But the religion of The Great Goddess is being Re-Birthed!!! And I am helping it to happen!

Summary: This was an excellent book!
Review: This story takes place during 5 B.C. in ancient Greece. It is about an "Amazonian" woman who is transported through time and reaches present day America. We see our society through the eyes of this Greek Warrior Amazon woman's. It is a commentary on our violent, lawless times and her confusion about our acceptance towards the violence to each other and specifically towards women. The heroine in the book reflects on how women are not allowed to make decisions on how we govern our own bodies and how we are "governed" by men. She cannot understand how we kill each other for the sheer viciousness of it all, whereas the Amazon Warrior woman kills for defense. She sees that women in our society have historically been controlled and exploitated by men, and her society has always been led by strong women, one that respects and honors women. A great commentary on our modern times!

Summary: Unique wonderful read !!!
Review: What a great story -with comments that really hit the mark about our modern civilization. The first person perspective really helps the story along - I couldn't put this book down. The funny parts are really funny yet, there were parts to this story that make me sad for our modern civilization. All women should read this book - and be inspired.
