Summary: Love's True Potential
Review: After reading many of Deepak Chopra's fine books I am amazed at how well this fiction fits into his "teachings" about ego and ego release. A real love story between three people who discover the value and possibilities that love allows. A simple yet truly profound writing that enables the reader to discover and understand those possibilities along with all the characters involved. Thank you!

Summary: Deepak's Best Novel Yet
Review: Deepak Chopra has been making inroads in the fiction field for several years, and this is his best novel to date. Its theme is definitely inspiring and New Age, a love story that brings two people together, only to separate them after the heroine dies suddenly. The first part of Soulmate is about the romance between Raj, a young doctor in New York, and Molly, an actress he meets on the subway. The second, more metaphysical part of the story, takes place after Molly's death when she apparently returns to tell Raj about the true meaning of love and death. I found the style very readable, a real page turner. But the most enjoyable part was to hear Deepak discuss the great question of how love survives death. This is a story of personal redemption that really touches the reader.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was looking forward to a great lesson about love, attraction and respect but surprisingly it gives lame excuses for cheating in two situations (like people haven't got enough excuses by themselves). Submissive behavior on the part of the cheated one is predominant as well. It depicts the psychiatric profession in the USA as completely disinterested in its patients improvement, which I don't know to what extent is true. Other than that, it is a good story about inspiration and being open to new ideas and approaches.

Summary: A Lesson In Love
Review: Reading this novel gives an insight into the true workings of love, the human spirit, and the essence of each of us...a deeper look into your soul. Deepak Chopra allows for the wonderful mixture of eastern and western beliefs to intertwine. I am an avid reader, as well as a spiritual person, and I found this book to touch upon many things people try not to see, and try much to hard to deny. I may be in the minority, but I prefer to live in my world, than theirs.

Summary: Good fun reading if you like Deepak's non-fiction stuff
Review: This is Deepak's second try with fiction. I am just not sure why I like it.

I would recommend it to anybody who has done trainings with Deepak. Or for those who are fascinated by this teachings. And, boy, he is a very good teacher. His books, tapes, CD's and trainings about the mind/body connection are groundbreaking and practical. This book will help you in learning more and deeper. As a learning tool this is effective.
As fiction... as a novel to read, with a glass of wine beside the couch? I am not sure. I like his entertainment efforts in poetry and music much better.

The story is revealed in some other reviews, so I leave it right here and now:
Good foor students and Deepak-fans,
...forgettable for other folks.
Go out and buy his CD with Dave Stewart though.
