 still with me 8 years later, 2009-01-07
i stumbled across Sati in a little secondhand shop while vacationing in london in early 2001. i think it only took me a few days to read it because i simply couldn't put it down. i was, at the time, an atheist making my way back into the light (as i call it) & this book spoke to me. i left it behind at the hostel when it was time to move on, in the hopes that it might touch other lives as it had touched mine. i am not familiar with pike's other work & was therefore not biased by expectations, as other readers might have been. i found the message to be simple & long-lasting. i hoe that the negative reviewers might see fit to give Sati another chance in a few years. maybe familiarize yourself with the goddess first.

Great Nondual Novel, 2007-12-04
Sati, first published in 1990, is a great nondual novel. Two elements are given the highest regard: the art of the novel and the teaching of nonduality. The book's dedication reads, "For Maharishi," telling us that the author has investigated truth.
Christopher Pike is the pen name (taken from a Star Trek captain) of Kevin McFadden, who was born in New York in 1954. He currently lives a private life in Santa Barbara, California. Pike's dozens of titles have sold millions of copies. He is considered the master of teen horror. Sati is one of his few books written for adults.
Sati is a mass market novel. Advaita scholar and author Dennis Waite, recommends Sati in the same breath as Jonathan Livingstone Seagull and Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, along with some of Herman Hesse's works.
Because this novel is for the mass market, emotional strings are pulled, there are plot twists, suspense is created, and the semi-hard side of nonduality finds a setting within a semi-soft spiritual culture, if that makes any sense. In other words, this book takes the teaching of nonduality as far as it can and still appeal to a mass audience. In this case it's pretty far.
After reading this book, if you start wondering whether Sati could ever be real, and if you start missing the characters, the settings, the locations in the story, you've been totally sucked into the novel. And why not? That's exactly what a good novel is supposed to achieve, and Christopher Pike is a master. Let yourself be taken into this fantastical fictional story while reading some of the best descriptions of nonduality you'll find anywhere.

Wonderful, 2007-11-08
This is a very captivating story from beginning to end. Now if you're a Pike fan that only reads for the death, blood and gore dont bother with this one.
I actually stumbled across this book looking for another Pike book and I just loved it from the start.

Top marks, 2006-05-05
I have read all the recent books on spirituality and found them useless. I am so lucky to have found this book. It is so wonderful in the way it is written, the depth of wisdom, the storyline and the characters. It holds the wisdom of the centuries in such a simple book. It is so life changing and touching. Five stars is not enough.
