Ok so based on this I figured it must just be a witty novel under the chick-lit umbrella then; amusing escapades of young women like me can be really rather amusing. However, this is just a self-help book in novel format and surviving without chocolate or heels doesn't seem to be the narrator poking fun at herself.
In chapter one, our leading lady Anna outlines her obsessions and clearly likes products and brand names However, by the end of the chapter she is back to her normal self after trying on new shoes, eating some chocolate and brewing some tea sorry, lapsang souchong. So, does learning to be a shaman change her? Oh yes but the novel goes on and on and on for over pages to let us know this and frankly this is about pages too long.
She still likes buying stuff too - hence the 'inspired' way she calls herself the shaman in stilettoes. It just felt utterly pointless. Not funny, inspirational, riveting, empowering, engrossing or any other reason why I read a book. Don't waste your time.
Jo Halstead. Overall, I enjoyed this book. What kept me reading was wanting to understand how Anna Hunt developed her tools to become a shaman. At times, I struggled to ignore parts that just felt really shallow and judgemental - but then as I read on, began to realise that I think this is part of the point she is trying to make So, she has what is coined as a 'glamorous' lifestyle, I certainly don't but I am sure in some ways I'd be termed a 'hippie' or 'away with the fairies' because I am a reiki master.
We are all stereotyped one way or the other. Besides, it is quite enjoyable to carry a stereotype, isn't it? Anyway - I enjoyed her descriptions of working with the plants, the energy work, and how she learnt to work with the panther power animal. I also have to say that having attended a workshop by Anna at this year's MBS festival which is where and why I bought this book she is an energy shifter for sure.
It was fascinating and I fully intend to do some more shaman work with her in the future. Some parts of this book were incredibly beautiful and interesting - unfortunately other parts of it were unremittingly tedious. I could have done without the pages where Anna Hunt bitches about almost every person she meets in Peru, her so-called friends or the obsessive label dropping in the London sections. Inevitably Shaman in Stilettos is compared to Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love - but Hunt's book lacks the well-rounded characters, compassion and maturity of Gilbert's.
As other's have said, Hunt depicts herself as someone who is so obsessed with material luxury and status before all else that her transition to Peruvian shamanic healer just seems completely bizarre, particularly as she is so dismissive of her fellow students and even her teacher.
Hugo Moss. I would say that this book is an absolute must for anyone who feels trapped in day to day minutiae and office politics and wants to believe that it is possible to break free.
I was lent the Shaman in Stilettos by a friend who recommended it highly and found it completely engrossing. It wouldn't have been a normal choice for me but I am so glad I read it. Anna Hunt's journey from the rat race to the beautiful and exotic depths of Peru have taught me a lot about what is possible if you have the nerve and the vision to take control of your life.
It is entertaining, funny, beautifully written and even though it is a personal account of someone's life and mid-life crisis it is also a really gripping story with everything in it. I think this may be Anna Hunt's first book, I am waiting eagerly for the next. The Shaman in Stilettos. Cassy Simmonds. I loved this book. It is a gracefully written portrayal of inner duality, and this is what makes it so relatable and candid.
It could be said that we are generally afraid of change, and change in itself it is not often a linear or external path. I profoundly recommend this book.
