Book review: Philosophy of a Mad Man

The philosophy of a mad man.

Colbornes book is about a man who was disturbed mentally and unfortunately has not had an easy ride in life life, at a young age Colborne lost his mother and an old friend to cancer.

This seems to be the tipping point of a man who falls into a series of mental episodes that include running through London barefoot, stalking a young woman, believing that he has been accepted into the alumni of Oxford and wearing particularly dickens-esq clothing.

This book is humourous however it shows a paned man who struggles to find peace. It appears that he looks everywhere, eastern as well as western religious practices but has settled on looking into creation and how it is all connected. The book is divided into two sections; his journey and philosophy.

The first being a quick autobiography and the second section gives an interesting look into his belief system.

I hope Steven continues his journey and finds peace.

Witty, charming, dark as well as instances of humour
