 Vision Quest for young readers May 19, 2008
By Craig Lincoln
Dante, the protagonist in Howard Eaton's delightful little story, is the perfect avatar for a young reader to engage in a gentle exploration of the wisdom of the East and the awareness of other ways of seeing the world. Dante, a wonderfully sincere and benevolent misfit (he's a high-school drop-out, and a genius computer-game creator), embarks on an adventure/vision-quest to the Far East to find his true calling. He is continually challenged with new and provocative ideas, and manages to learn from each encounter while expanding his sense of himself and his place in the world. He also has a profound influence on each of the people he meets. He's a great character, and the world through his eyes is both humbling and inspiring. The book jacket promises "... danger, crisis, death, poverty, wealth, and love..." but each of these is touched on in age-appropriate ways for the younger reader. As an adult reader, I hope Dante's adventures continue.

 Good Book! May 01, 2008
By Mary
The Mystic is a travel adventure about a young man's natural inclination to understand the dynamics of life through his firsthand relationships with sages and contemporaries in the digital world. I particularly enjoyed how the book characterized his "applied mysticism" in the everyday choices he made. This book is food for thought for parents and their children or those who look for relevance in the integrity of their choices.

The Mysic Apr 02, 2008
By Cheryle Carmitchel
The Mystic is for all ages and backgrounds, I've recommended it for a teenager who is searching for her own life meaning and purpose, what a great way to send a terrific message through a novel, a realistic heathly approach...Dante's journey is full of life lessons that leave you thinking about your own life journey...The Mystic is entertaining, keeps your attention, simple yet thought provoking.

Inspirational! Mar 04, 2008
By Tony Bleasdale
After reading Paulo Coelho's book, The Alchemist, I was looking for another inspirational book. The Mystic fit the bill. It is an entertaining read taking the reader to intriguing locations in Japan and China with the most unique characters. If you have an interest in Zen and personal spiritual journeys, you will enjoy reading this book!
Inspiring May 23, 2008
By T. Jefferson
Though it has been some time since I was the young man searching for his way in the world, I found that The Mystic took me back to that place where everything was still possible. This story reminds me that my journey through life should be an adventure, and that there are still many possibilities to explore.
I was inspired to make a new list of thing that I will do in my life, and I have a renewed sense of purpose.
