"I find mysticism difficult to assimilate. It will probably take reading it at least a couple more times to appreciate the author's insights. In general it is much beyond and more complex than providing an understanding a personal period of darkness and depression which often seems to be the reference to it. I think one needs to be tuned into their own spiritual journey - John is really describing a process of the soul's union with God - from the perspective of The Night of Sense, then The Night of the Spirit - an ultimate bond of love. Not a quick nor easy read. Will need to read several times."
"Tough read. I think I'll have to read it at least another two to three times before I can really understand everything he's trying to say-- probably more. But the messages are very profound on multiple levels. If you enjoy C.S. Lewis you might like this, but his concepts are much more abstract. Written in the 16th century, the style of the language takes some getting used to."
