As a book dealing with the aspect of multiple overlapping parallel realities, you would probably expect a headache after reading some parts of The Return of Merlin. Chopra creates an imaginative and original rendition of the the King Arthur saga, but I'm not entirely sure I would recommend this book based on that. There are a lot of characters, although not as many as in the full Arthurian saga. Add to that the fact that many of those characters have multiple characters (which is a little odd to try to explain), and most of these characters go through several different realities, and you have a story that can be very confusing at times. And I swear I've seen the ending portrayed exactly as described in at least a dozen different movies, across different genres. But, with the particular subject matter, a few cliches aren't terribly surprising. I didn't feel like I wanted to know any of the characters, and sometimes trying to know them in the context of the story was awkward. All in all, I'd say it's average or slightly above average.

I dislike giving negative reviews, but this book was flat out boring for me.
Too many story lines, with too many characters, and too many superfluous details. The character development was weak, not nearly enough to generate intrest for me. On top of that add the scattered time travel and alternate realities and the plot became too convoluted.
The spirituality in the book is good stuff, but what is there is pretty basic, and there is not all that much of it.
Readers looking for good spiritual fiction would be better off picking something else from my review list.
Entertainment: 2 stars
Enlightenment: 2 stars

Mordred has succeeded in doing bad things in the past, in the original time of Arthur.
This book is mostly concerned with the present, and a young police officer named Arthur. Guess what happens next? Yep, the souls of all the Arthurian types eventually take over people in the present day, and the actual owners of these bodies begin to realise the roles they are playing in this conflict.

If you want to be Merlin, and you want Camelot to live again, read this book. If you are intrigued by quantum reality, read this book. If you are trying to deal with the truth about the dark side of yourself, read this book. Perception is everything. I give this book four Stars because I reserve five stars for the video "What the Bleep Do We Know?"
