1: A practical focus
There are very few books on Kwan Yin out there, and this is an interesting new addition. Quite beautifully illustrated (it would make a lovely gift) it is really filled with practical meditations and tips on how to incorporate Kwan Yin into your own spiritual life - which makes it quite different from other books in English on the Bodhisattva.
On the whole, probably well worth buying.

2: An experiential journey that feeds the soul.
From the moment I picked up this book I was saturated with the energy of Kuan Yin. Yes, even before I opened it, it spoke to my heart. It doesn't hold a lot of intellectual rehashing of ancient ideas, it holds actual technique to connect with the Bodhisattva Herself and experience her love, light and compassion within. You can think about it all you want, but the journey of Kuan Yin is to be experienced through the heart and this book is a valuable guide for you travels. Thank you so much Daniela Schenker for this valuable gift you have given.

3: Beautiful
Lovely book. A really nice introduction to Kuan Yin for those who are interested. Bought it for a friend who has really enjoyed it. Makes a nice gift for the spiritual one in your life.

4: A Visual Delight
While I was expecting a bit more substance, I thoroughly enjoyed the illustrations. As I am a visual person, the images of Kuan Yin's many manifestations were of great assistence in understanding the compassion this goddess is renowned for. I am still in the process of reading what I suspect to be the perfect compliment to the above book. Expounding on Kuan Yin's spirtual teachings, The Living Word of Kuan Yin: The Teachings & Prophecies of The Goddess of Compassion & Mercy is an authentic channeling: chocked full of important spiritual maxims and meditation techniques. Kuan Yin: Accessing the Divine Feminine may be for many their introduction to the amazingly merciful and compassionate world of Kuan Yin.

5: It was okay
I wasn't expecting much -- I never do from books on Kuan Yin -- but occasionally some do surprise me. Sandy Boucher's, for instance, or Teoh Eng Soon's. The present book, however, seems yet another Buddhish New Age trifle -- short on substance, careless with detail, and full of three-line meditations. But hey, for many this book may be just the ticket.
I will say the illustrations are very good, and for that alone I give the book 3 stars.
