Child of the Dawn: A Magical Journey of Awakening

Summary: High Hopes, Big Disappointments
Review: Being an admirer of his father's work, I bought the younger Chopra's book with high expectations. Alas, Guatama Chopra did not inherit his father's gift of prose or profound wisdom. His story was void of originality and failed to capture the reader's interest, since this concept has seen many incarnations. Unfortunately, this is a case of a decendent riding on the mighty coattails of his successful father. Hopefully, with age, maturity, and wisdom, Mr. Chopra would grow into his identity and improve his written and oral communication skills. Having seen his work as an anchor for Channel One News, I have to say that Mr. Chopra has a long journey ahead of him.

Summary: Curious minds discover wisdom.
Review: I have just recently discovered this web-site and am thrilled to find my new book listed on it. In Child of The Dawn, I have attempted to write a story that will find a place in all of us. Much of this story revolves around the principle character's (Hakim's) encounters with various people of all different backrounds. My belief is that in every encounter, in every conversation or experience, there is the opportunity to discover pearls of wisdom. I am intrigued to hear your responses, questions, and answers as you read my book. In the forum of curiosity, may we all discover a place where we may attain a higher sense of understanding.

Summary: A light and easy read book
Review: If you think that other books on this subject are too heavy and long - this is the book for you. Being around 130 pages, with big text - that's a first! This book is so much more then the exploring of a young boy, much more then morality and surviving in the sense of food and sleep. Set out in the poor persons every day life this book makes it simplistic and easy to grasp the real point with it. You get your own roots shaken a bit, your values re-set. At the end of this you have a sense of what real power is, what it truly means to be rich. Rich in the soul, not measured by money.

Summary: So Much More
Review: On reading this book, one gets the distinct impression that Gautama Chopra is capable of so much more. Why he chooses to take the easy road and write about something that would be commercially viable given his father's empire, I'm not sure. There are glimpses of wonderful talent in this book, as evinced when the protagonist Hakim runs across a meditative dancer: It seems as if Gautama has based the character of the beautiful dancer on a girl he's been in love with. His descriptions are breathtaking. But I'd like to see him break new ground, away from the self-help spirituality track, and write a piece of fiction that comes from his own heart, and most importantly, from his own mind--no one else's.

Summary: Beautiful story told beautifully
Review: This book is a great complement to The Seven Spirtual Laws of Success. The laws are learned and applied by Hakim as he journeys to find a wise old man who will teach him the secrets of success and happiness. I don't want to spoil this experience for readers by writing too much here so I'll simply say that it's a beautiful story told beautifully. p.s. The book itself is very handsome. The color of cover, the beautiful artwork on the jacket, and the inviting typeface add to the experience of this book and complement the text.
