About this listen
When his sister tricks him into taking her guru on a trip to their childhood home, Otto Ringling, a confirmed skeptic, is not amused. Six days on the road with an enigmatic holy man who answers every question with a riddle is not what he'd planned. But in an effort to westernize his passenger---and amuse himself---he decides to show the monk some "American fun" along the way. From a chocolate factory in Hershey to a bowling alley in South Bend, from a Cubs game at Wrigley field to his family farm near Bismarck, Otto is given the remarkable opportunity to see his world---and more important, his life---through someone else's eyes. Gradually, skepticism yields to amazement as he realizes that his companion might just be the real thing. In Roland Merullo's masterful hands, Otto tells his story with all the wonder, bemusement, and wry humor of a man who unwittingly finds what he's missing in the most unexpected place.

Best surprise ever - worth listening to again
I was pleasantly surprised by the context of this book. At first I was not sure if this was merely a novel or something that would challenge my beliefs. I enjoyed the story so much that I would at times listen to the chapter a second time. It had me smiling and laughing out loud at times and also reflecting on what was said. Fantastic book.

A pretentious collection of nothings
The book feels somewhat insulting towards Buddhism, not because of what it tries to preach, but through the sheer lack of insight and through superficiality presented as depth. One guy ever complaining and one guy ever the calm, their "adventure" drags on without real development or revelations.
