THE ACCIDENTAL BUDDHIST

Irish-American Catholic Dinty W. Moore tells of his conversion to Buddhism and simultaneously gives listeners a primer on what this ancient faith has to offer modern Western materialists; his personal spiritual odyssey elevates his narrative above the book's Cliff's Notes approach. Jack Hawkins's vibrant, expressive, youthful voice admirably delivers the author's text and keeps the listener interested. Whether or not he shares Moore's enthusiasm, he sounds as if he does and to it adds an inviting personality of his own. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAR/APR 98]
