Summary: Poorly written, painful to get through
Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend - and was a great disappointment. It is written in a dreadfully childish manner which makes getting through each page to understand the prophecies a real bind. Don't buy it unless you are desperately in need of some spiritual uplifting (because by the time you have got through it, you certainly will!)

Summary: Real reasons not to read this book:
Review: I consider myself open-minded. I welcome comments from anyone who disagrees with my review.I would discourage anyone from reading this book because: 1. If you want fiction, this book lacks style and character. 2. If you want insight (spiritual or otherwise), this book offers no basis for it's "revelations." The author will tell you energy is concentrated on mountaintops, and our auras can connect with flowers to help them grow, and we can achieve such a high state of being we will become invisible to those of lesser intelligence. Well, that sounds nice. But he offers no basis for these ideas, so why would anyone take them seriously? We may as well believe in hobbits and unicorns. They sound nice, too.

Summary: very enlightning
Review: i know that i lot of people liked to dish about how the auther wrote the book, that his style was uninteresting,amature, whatever-but i enjoyed the message as well as the plot.i read in another readers review that the main character used the words "i dont know" and other vague statements that really didnt go anywhere, but its not like one should suppose that just because a question is posed in a book that we automatically recieve an answer. in real life people cant always just spit out what they mean to say or how they feel in a passionate poetic way. im a 16 year old in high school and i havent heard of these new age concepts or anything really like them and what it did for me may hold a little more substance because the ideas are very refreshing and give me some insight into my own spirituality and idenifing with myself and the world around me.i think that a world wide conciesness of simple love and compassion could easly bring us all together.nothing else could. i am a christian the book really only helped me to better grasp my religion with more understanding.teachings of buddhism have helped me to do the same.i definitly recommend the book if you are willing to go into to it with an open mind and without an overcritical ego to dis the writing.(i have to say i am disappointed that the story was totally fictional,i mean mayans in peru?)

Summary: Idealistic to say the least...
Review: This book has an interesting idea and is an easy read, but the true spiritual revelation of it was lost on me. There's nothing wrong with a book that promotes being nice to everyone, but it's a 'feel good' book that doesn't have any truth backing it. It would be great if we could all just drink up the energy like Coca-Cola, but we can't. That fact leaves this book as a fantasy novel with an oversimplistic literary style. If you want to really open your horizons by reading a novel, try reading Daniel Quinn.

Summary: For those who want to improve spiritually
Review: This book is obviously not for everyone. But i might ad, that it is a book that many do take to heart once read. I really enjoyed the way the author could use coincidences, as he called them, to get the book to the end. I also learned excatly what the message was. It is just another way of looking at things spiritually. Maybe the reason the next person reads it is because they are ready to learn and to move on spiritually.

Summary: Zen teaching for the masses
Review: Recommened to me for years by close freinds i read the whole book in six hours through the night.On completion it felt like i had taken a journey. Those who would shoot down the style of writing are missing the whole MESSAGE the book is trying to portray. It is not how it is written, it is what is written.After reading this book i felt as if i had been viewing the world through a misted window and i had been given the oppurtunity to wipe a hole through which to see. You will feel bound to pass this to your friends as mine did to me and as i have since done myself.

Summary: Don't do it! No! Don't!
Review: This has got to be one of the worst books I've read. I think he needs to leave the writing to a professional and start a new age cult of his own--old ideas rehashed once again. How many times can the main character say "I don't know." or "I guess." or "yeah." ??? Just a sample of the stimulating dialogue you'll encounter in this book! By the way,the "Mayan" better known as the MAYA didn't live in Peru...doing some research would have been a good idea.

Summary: Save your money.
Review: The author proposes a mildly interesting way of looking at man's relationships with others and with nature, but he cannot write. The prose is one level above, "Look Dick, see Spot jump." The plot is no better, and the characters are ludicrous. I can't figure out why this book is referred to in so many places as if it were a classic...

Summary: Read Between the Lines
Review: After hearing all the great reviews I was enthusiastic to get started reading this book. I was a bit disappointed, however, I could see some enlightening views on religion and spirituality. We're all in search of explanations. The characters and plot line were a bit cheesy, but if you read this book strictly for the philosphical questions it brought up, it wouldn't be so bad.

Summary: Nonsensical
Review: The hype this book received was undeserving. It was certainly not life changing to me. It was boring and I had to force myself to continue in the hope that there would be a thrilling climax; this was more of an anticlimax! I certainly will not be reading any of the associated books. It was definitely a waste of money!
