Summary: Stay away from this book!!
Review: A complete waste of time! As I was reading this book I kept waiting for it to get better but it never did. In fact the more I read, the more I realised how horrible this book really was. It is a scary reflection on society to think the Celestine Prophecy was on the BestSellers list for so many weeks.

Summary: Good insight into human behavior
Review: If only for its insight regarding our struggle for energy, the book can help anyone understand human behavior. And accordingly, help show us how eliminating poor behavior and the struggle for energy may help us lead more productive and happier lives.

Summary: Not for everyone,but of benifit to some
Review: I enjoyed reading this book. I don't agree with all the ideas in the book,but some things fit situations in my life at this time. I thought the story was interesting and well written. I feel this book is not for everyone although most will enjoy it. I would suggest this book to anyone that needs a little explanation for some of the occurences in their life.

Summary: Good start for your spiritual journey
Review: You must read this book with an open mind. You may not agree with everything in the book, but the way the story unfolds is a wonderful way to present the insights.. The lessons and views the author shares in the book will suprice you. You just may find some of the answers for man's sudden decire for a more spiritual life these days. For the skeptics of the new age movement: This book is very much logical if you dare to consider the views the story delivers for just one moment. As a writer, James Redfield will take you on a wonderful adventure....

Summary: good idea, poorly executed
Review: The concepts behind "The Celestine Prophecy" are sound, but this is a badly written novel. Cardboard characters, pedestrian use of language and ponderous dialogue make this novel laughable to any reader of serious fiction.I'd love to see a well-written book of spiritual fiction sell as well as Redfield's amateur attempt.

Summary: Celestine Prophecy:An "atheists" perspective
Review: I always have considered myself a vehement atheist; however, ignorance of what James Redfield defines simply as "energy" had been a crutch i had adhered to for a long time. Saving philisophical pretense in favor of matter-of-fact explanations about his relationship with earth, and the beings on it, he carefully puts his finger on the pulse of something eternally suggested but never fully realized. read it and understand....a little bit more.

Summary: The best-ever book I've read
Review: There is no denying a huge spiritual awakening is sweeping the planet, and the Celestine Prophecy offers a very profound explanation why, and how, it is happening. I recently attended a weekend seminar on mind power techniques and was delighted to learn ways of achieving and practising the concepts explained in the Prophecy. Very simple, no huge intellect required, and the Prophecy just came completely alive. Whether you are open minded or not, you owe yourself the read...

Summary: totally worthless - except as a lesson in ignorance
Review: The only insight anyone will get from this book is the insight of Redfield into his bank balance as thousands more idiots purchase this book in a misguided search for enlightenment. When I heard that there was a sequel, the Tenth Insight, I screamed with laughter. Now I see there are meditation courses and lectures to assist with helping you pour more money into his coffers. When will all these dreadful wishy washy new-age yuppie hippies realize that they gained nothing from this except a lesson in being ripped off. It is out there, it is real, it is more profound than you can imagine, but you will not find it in this book.

Summary: Not for those who wear sandals ....
Review: ...this book is for the open minded. There are many who think they are open minded, and still have difficulty looking beyond their mundane and blinkered points of view. It is interesting to read the reviews of this book, and I agree that Redfield is no Gibran or Gurdjeff, but he has written a good book, highlighting what is essentially missing, from the world today. The message is simple and clear, and if you cannot appreciate the simplistic way in which this STORY is presented, then it is you that needs, more than anyone, to understand the underlying message. I would recommend this book to anyone starting out on their 'Spritual Path', or to any fan of an adventurous yarn. Take this book too seriously and you will end up like the 'one star reviewers'. Open your mind and your heart will follow.
