It's interesting but this is certainly a very dense academic text. I think when I picked it up, I was looking for something a little miraculous or whimsical, but I was met with the opposite. In any case, it's an interesting look at three historical madmen of Tibet and especially at Drukpa Kunley, who has had his story inflated ad infinitum by centuries of yogis. He was actually a rather conservative practitioner that showed disdain for institutionalism in a more subtle way than is depicted in legend. This text is not for beginners and it's not an easy read--At times I feel it's a little redundant as the author analyzes the hagiography first, then true history in comparison to the hagiography, which means the text sometimes repeats itself multiple times. Still a very valuable academic study, though.
