The Way of the Druid is a fair introduction, but it is very dry and reads like a religious studies text. It is quite philosophical and often vague or lacking in concrete examples of modern Druidry. The book focuses most of its energy on Celtic history and sources rather than modern Druids. The author also frequently explains that “all druids do ____” and “no Druid does ____” in a manner that is very unusual for a book on a modern pagan faith.

A book that takes you back to the roots providing a foundation on which to base druidry, its origins and how the druidic system linked into the practice of the ancient Celts right through to how it is practised today. Very well researched and written, makes for an interesting read.

This read like a text book. It was pretty technical. I'm not pagan, but I found relevance and appreciation for earth based "religions".
