Definitely when David Ault emulates different voices!

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Reflections – Mirroring the Mind

Any additional comments?

I sometimes found judicious use of the pause button was helpful at the end of some quotations, giving me a little more time to digest what was said.

review

enjoyable book with plenty of wisdom but not for those not used to sufi type stories. Stories told can end abruptly.

Multi-faceted collection

What did you like most about Reflections?

Shah writes with rare precision and lucidity. He can strip a story down to its essential elements or explain complicated concepts with deceptively simple language.

What other book might you compare Reflections to, and why?

One difference between Reflections and some of his other collections like Thinkers of the East is that here Shah mixes in his own stories and observations along with the work of classical Sufi Masters.

Which character – as performed by David Ault – was your favourite?

Ault's first-rate reading serves the content well.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended for anyone interested in Sufism, superb writing, and fresh viewpoints on human behavior.
