I picked this book up off David Tallan's bibliography of Camino books. I think it is a bit loose to call it a Camino book. It progresses from mystical to occult to weird and, in my opinion, degrades the Camino with the scenes it sets thereon. But to each his own, I guess. It is different if you're looking for something like that.

Yes, I'm a little late to the "seance," I guess. But thought a review might be helpful to anyone thinking of reading this book.

Given the current classification on Amason (typo intended, I hate Bots) is Fiction: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B004VSADAY/?tag=casaivar-21 as a potential guide to Camino it was always going to be a bit "loose".

Not to belabor the point, but I thought the Camino was used here solely as a prelude to set-up the occult and, as such, was degrading to the Camino as most of us see it...a spiritual place of reality where we go for peace and comfort. But again, to each his/her own.

I should make it clear that the presence of a book in my bibliography doesn't constitute an endorsement. I haven't read most of them. This one was a novel, which makes it even harder to judge.

Thanks, that goes without saying, your bibliography is a great resource. And if you’ve read all of those books, you’re beyond a scholar.
