A review by jexjthomas
Dharma Punx by Noah Levine
1.0
A major disappointment. While I am inspired by the movement that Levine's book gave birth to, and the renewed interest in Buddhism by a new generation--influenced not by hippie-dippie New Age BS but a revolutionary quest for liberation--I can't help but find Levine himself to be much other than a self-congratulatory son of privlege who seems to be talking about his interest in Buddhism only to talk about himself, rather than using his experiences as an example and a way to talk about the dhamma.
It's too bad that a book that should expose young people to ideas they may have never considered, and show them that there is a path out of suffering, is more likely to turn them off since Levine is such a pompous jerk.
