A thoughtful book that is a great mix of personal history and accessible theory.

My Russian professor told us the most amazing story about this book, and it made be like it more than I probably would have. When it was first published it was banned in the USSR, and he really wanted to read it. A friend gave him an illegal copy, but he could not read it in his dorm because he was afraid of being caught and turned in by his roommates. His solution was to spend the enitire day on the train, riding back and forth, until he finished reading it. The way he told this story, with a twinkle in his eye, brought to my reading of the book the excitement he felt when he read it so many years ago.

So many people in todays world agree, that something is dreadfully wrong with our modern way of thinking and living and our society as a whole. Millions of books flood the market, whose authors claim to have found what is wrong and what should be done differently. Millions of people, many of them women, are willing to buy them, and give them a chance because they are desperate. I was one of those people until three years ago. Be it feminism, permaculture, neo-paganism or radical evangelicalism - no matter where I looked, the same picture presented itself to me: while there was some truth in the way the diagnosis of our societies malaise was made and even the solutions proposed, for every good and truthful point there were at least as many where things were muddled completely. Always I was left with the impression that only one weed was identified and weeded from the garden or else, that only the leaves and stems of the pests were plucked of and the roots left in the ground to sprout again in slightly different form. Never was a view of the world a truely coherent whole. I was struggeling hard to patch together my own view from different, seemingly contradicting ideas of others, when by serendipity or the kindness of some higher creature, I stumbled upon "The Feminine Universe". On the very first page of this book, I read: "This is no ordinary book. It will either leave you wholly unmoved, or it will transform your life for ever. In a fragmented world full of conflicting ideas and alternatives, this book puts forward the other point of view. The one that is other than all of them. The only real alternative there is." It sounded preposterously boastful at the time, but now, after three years of having read the book again and again, and still discovering more every time, I can assure you, that it is quite simply the Truth. This REALLY is the book that knows all the weeds and pulls them out thoroughly by the root! Read chronologically and with an open mind, so as to allow Miss Trent to take you by the hand and lead you through the labyrinth of modernity's history and meaning, this book really can change the entire way you perceive and feel about the world, femininity, society, religion and yourself, by giving you the key to the understanding of the set of mind which was normal everywhere and at all times until the cultural revolution of the 1960s in the West. It refutes patriarchy, without abolishing femininity (an error ironically almost universal among feminists), takes position against the destruction of nature, without blaming civilisation and culture for it (an error made more or less obviously and intentionally by most "green", eco-conscious ideologies/groups) and condemns our present modern world, without any resignation or the rejection of, for example, modern technology. If you too are one of those trying to find out what is wrong and what you can do to change it, please do give this book a chance - it is the most worthwhile book you are likely ever to read! I am certain, that you will not be disappointed!

Gender bending, multi racial, genetically engineered polysexual vampires? And a murder mystery? Count me in.

chosen to be read in the book club I was in at the time, hated every second i spent reading this one. it seems to me that it SO wanted to be a movie not a book a wish it would later be granted. i SO wish i had spent the time at the movies (although not the melanie griffith version of this book) instead of reading this book.

Having seen the movie years ago, I was a little reluctant to read this book. In this case, "never judge a book by its cover" was absolutely true. I should have known the tale would stand on its own, a jewelbox of discovery. Now one of my favorite reads.

I don't remember when I read this book, but it does keep seeping into my conscious thought every now and again (which is why I give it so many stars, even though my husband says I didn't like it when I read it). I remember relating to it as a person who is torn between maintaining the comfortable consumer-driven lifestyle I have always had, and a deep longing to throw that all off and "know the real me." Life is very fragile, and it takes more courage than ignorance to take it into your own hands. Anything can happen to any of us, any day, that others would look back on and say, "if they only knew how close help was..."

The continuation of The Outlander, it's a bit surprising where it begins. Had I not read the review on Barnes and Noble, I would have been even more confused. In a way I wish she hadn't advanced Claire 20 years because it seems like so much wasted time but I suppose it's more grounded in reality than I am. I fell in love with two secondary characters from the beginning, Roger and Brianna, and will be happy to see them come back around. I was happy to note that the fact that Jamie and Claire aren't actually TOGETHER much in this book until much later on, didn't bother me with the way it was written. Jamie's story was so curious that I couldn't put it down trying to find out what had happened to him. Another excellent read.

I just finished this... about three minutes ago. It made me feel so strong I could weep.
