Summary: the celestine prophecy
Comment: i bought this book after it was recommended to me by a friend. i wouldnt normally write a review after reading a book but felt it was necessary this time.
on the first attempt i found the book a little far-fetched and struggled to accept the story line. however i decided to give it another go and completely changed my opinion of it.
this book requires a completely open mind and a skeptical attitude will prevent it from having any impact at all. i found the insights to be really poignant and felt that they rang true with many events and thoughts which have occurred for me in my life.
i wouldnt say this book is 'life changing' but i feel it is a good tool to have when approaching new, and in some cases more familiar, situations and it has caused me to adopt a completely different mindset on life.
i hope it does the same for you, and would definitly suggest you give it the opportunity to do so...

Summary: Clumsy, laboured and a waste of time
Comment: Trying to disguise a badly-written self-help book in a woefully written attempt at a novel/adventure story meant that if there is any value in the author's thoughts, it has been wholly demeaned by this pitiful book.
If you enjoy being patronised in a heavy-handed manner, this is the perfect book.

Summary: The Celestine Prophecy
Comment: The Celestine Prophecy is one of my favorite classic spiritual fiction journeys. The book follows the personal growth of one man as he follows a mysterious query about an ancient manuscript. An old friend happens to drop by and tells him about an ancient Peruvian manuscript dating back to 600 BC. This relic tells of a shift in the mind thought of the world starting at the end of the 20th century. The key to this shift are nine insights that must be gained, understood, and integrated into the mind and lives of individuals.
Intrigued by the possibilities, the main character travels to Peru in hopes of finding out more about this mystery. With no real direction or plan, at each step he is helped along by coincidence and others following the same quest. Along the way, he also learns about himself, his connection to the universe, and his part in this evolutionary process.

Summary: Its not bad, its just wrong
Comment: A friend is using this book to 'turn his life around' !! Oh Dear! I think the author wrote the 8 Insights, realised that the chances his hero experienced them in the way he did was zero, so added 'coincidence' as Insight one. Why would anyone accepting coincidence suddenly experience it? How does accepting coincidence as plan, make it happen more ?? Nearly all facts in this book are wrong (didnt the Inca's live in what is now Peru?)
This, and the people that fall for it live by the mantra 'you don't like it cause you don't get it'. I wich there was more to get. There is NOTHING new in this book, and at least genuine 'spiritulists' try to understand, this book makes it up. It calls Quantum Mechanics theory as fact, and condenses history into a shape that doesn't fit what actualy happened (and still is happening). The scientists didn't get sent off and never came back...they are forever refining the answers, and the questions !
I am far from a sceptic, I just dont feel this book brought anything new to the table, and what it re-told was in an amaturish manner.
Being open, being honest, being aware of the world, and the people in it DOES enrich life. It does not make you a Jedi !

Summary: Abook to waste your time.
Comment: I read this book after seeing the film of the same name and was doubly dissapointed. My mother used to say that one should remain open minded in in the face of something which, on the surface, appears meaningless. I now know the difference between remaining open minded and empty minded. Warning - if you dont want to end up empty minded, avoid this book.
