Publisher's summary

Shamanism is the oldest living path of spirituality.

Deatsman's book is a what-is rather than a how-to-practice guide that illuminates Shamanism's core teachings, its healing techniques, it's history and practices around the world, and more.

Good information

Interesting and promotes looking inward while answering questions about modern shamans and practices. When finished, your new understanding may entise starting from the beginning to see what was missed.

Informative

This was exactly what I was looking for as an introduction to shamanism. It seemed well researched, authentic, and thorough. Narrator was fine. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning about this topic.

Good book -- horrible narrator

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would change the narrator -- she sounds almost robotic. Terrible choice of voice for this book!

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Arika Escalona?

The author or someone with a voice personality.

Not an enjoyable listen

What would have made The Hollow Bone better?

The reading appeared to be computer generated. I'ts a reasonably good technology, but completely inappropriate for this content.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Could not get through the content

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The computer generated voice had no intonation or emotion white reading.
