reviews: Astral Sex to Zen Teabags
"Witty and informative”
– Time Out magazine
“Very funny”
- Dirk Maggs, producer of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
“ Loved it… very funny, and timely” - Sue Townsend, author, Adrian Mole Books
"Astral Sex – Zen Tea Bags: An Illustrated New Age Spoofapedia comes from an Irish humorist who uses his personal experience to provide a fine collection of spoofs of gurus, therapies, and new age mysticism. Fun cartoons accompany these spoofs and poke fun at all manner of beliefs and ironies in a fun and whimsical collection recommended for the humor sections of any new age or general lending library.”
– California Bookwatch, Reviewer’s Choice
"It is delightfully refreshing to read a New Age book with old fashioned humor. Gerry Thompson’s keen powers of observation are turned with kleig light intensity onto the whole gamut of New Age themes, and nothing is sacred or safe from his wry observations and delicious barbs. The humor of this “New Age Spoofapedia” is positively effervescent, with giggles and guffaws bubbling up from every page”
– Miriam Knight, Editor, New Consciousness Review
"I laughed my head off. This is a wonderful look into the “New Age” movement. Tongue-in-Cheek, but cutting through to truths. This is a wonderful time to raise endorphins with a good guffaw.”
– Editor, The Messenger
"Once in a lifetime comes a book that will totally transform your life, help you find your true direction, and reveal to you the very mysteries of existence itself... This is not that book. However, it is the funnietst, most brilliant tongue-in-cheek guide to New Age jargon yet published
