More pagan claptrap
Someone's dreams are coming true when you read this, and it won't be yours. It'll be the woman who wrote this silly pagan mess in the first place. This book is not aimed at Catholics or serious protestant Christians - it is aimed at the bland, cynical post modern reader (in this case female, with a disordered fascination for witchcraft) who quickly snaps up Oprah's next book club selection. That a nun would write this is painful. That it would be proudly published is shameful.

LET ME HEAR A HEAVENLY AMEN!
Review written by: Alan W. Petrucelli From THE ENTERTAINMENT REPORT (ALAN W. PETRUCELLI)
A gift from heaven? The hell with it! a real-life nun named Karol Jackowski somehow convinced Hyperion that she had a book inside her, and Holy Hypocrite! it worked. This paperback is filled with such earth-shattering advice such as "if it looks like fun and doesn't break The 10 Commandments, do it" and "write something at the end of every day." OK, Sis. I am taking your advice. My words at the end of this day: Thou Shall Not Read such a miraculous waste of ink and paper. Amen!

One of my all time favorites
This is the kind of book that I want to buy 20 copies of and give to all my friends. Maybe some day I will. I read it over and over again. It's a great book. I love all of Sister's books.

A little book packed with lots of wisdom
Review written by: Sheila O'Sullivan From Toronto, Canada
Sister Karol's book is one of my all time favourites and something I can return to time and time again for inspiration. It isn't a heavy, dry read in the least, something one might perhaps expect of a Catholic nun. She is fun, witty and occasionally somewhat irreverent (in the best possible way). Infact, I think I'd like to invite her to my next party...:)

Nuns have more fun
Review written by: Tom Hinkle From Tulsa, OK USA
This book is more like a "rule of life" than suggestions for specific fun things to do, like going skydiving or riding the world's biggest roller coaster. Of course, calling it a "rule of life" wouldn't be much fun, now, would it? Among all the frivolity (not that there's anything wrong with frivolity) she slips in a few ideas that could be construed as spiritual disciplines. Very clever, this nun! She might be a fun person to take to the clubs and discos, but only after her periods of silent meditation.

I really wanted to give this book at least three stars, but I had to dock it one star due to her constant references to "the Gods" or "the Gods and their Muses". Just to whom the heck is she referring? Fun is fun, but I would expect a nun to at least be a monotheist.
