Summary: Finished The Celestine Prophecy? Now learn how to use it.
Review: After reading "The Celestine Prophecy" in 1995. (I have the original version) I was impressed that Redfield could organize the tips about how to raise your awareness levels. However, as most people, I needed some instruction as to how to incorporate the steps into my life. This book will do this for you. A must for the people who enjoyed "The Celestine Prophecy."

Summary: Satisfied my original thirst, but left me hungry for more...
Review: James Redfield has done it again. He's found the words we can't seem to put together. His tremendous gifts of intuition, insight, knowledge, and wisdom uplift his gift of words to its highest potential, giving us a glimpse of the story that needs to be told. Only the most stubborn souls will not be moved by this book. I can't wait to read "The Celestine Vision."

Summary: Quit while you're ahead
Review: The Celestine Prophecy was a very thought provoking book. The Tenth Insight, however, has crossed the line between thought provoking and a bad movie. While The Celestine Prophecy pushed the intellectual envelope when it got to the "Ninth Insight" (being able to physically disappear), the message and structure of the other eight insights expanded the understanding of how humans interact. The Tenth Insight takes the metamorphosis of humanity to a new level of idiocy--where people "centered" enough can actually cross over to the Afterlife, seeing what others are hoping to make of their lives before they are reincarnated, and how humanity will achieve this awakaning through love. Somewhere between page one and the end, this book starts weak, and then collapses upon itself in a rather agonizingly slow process. Save your money, stick to The Celestine Prophecey.

Summary: Sequel Jinx
Review: I read The Celestine Prophesy in three hours. I read The Tenth Insight in three months. It took me longer to open the book once I had closed it than it was to read War and Peace. I appreciated many of the simple ways the author, in Celestine, tried to explain the ancient beliefs of the Christians, Hindus, Zen Masters and Buddhists through the now popular phrase "New Age". I even appreciated the "action", "suspense" and ending of Celestine. But when it came to revealing the tenth insight in The Tenth Insight, running out of gas is an understatement. The discussion on "A-life-unexamined-is-not-worth- living-cum-karma-cum-past-life-regression" is too contrived. Not at all "coincidental" as in Celestine. Wil's character comes in and out to intervene like a guardian angel, but guardian angel he's not. He's more like a distant observer who helps out the protagonist so that the story may continue without any hitches...classic deux ex machina. The book tried too hard to describe heaven and hell that it lost the path to the spiritual road it promised in Celestine. This is one of the worst sequels I've read.

Summary: A fictional extension of 'Saved by the Light'
Review: The author has taken on a profound subject and the focus on death, after-life and karma gives this book a different direction from the Celestine Prophecy. After reading it one feels that at times the author has tried to justify having a separate novel for the Tenth Insight. Hence certain portions drag and make you want to flip over. James Redfield seems to have been inspired by 'Saved by the Light' and hence anyone who has read 'Saved ...' will easily spot the similarities. For anyone who is reading about death, after-life first time, this book covers all theories,experiences covered to date.

Summary: Put directly into the garbage. Trash it. Shred it.
Review: The Celestine Prophecy, while poorly written, had something to say, ideas worth thinking about and was intelligible. But Redfield's The Tenth Insight reveals him as the poorest of Casteneda clones. Only by the greatest perserverence was I able to finish this book, hoping that the mindless obscurities and their wraithlike shadows, the Birth Vision, feckless and nameless in the whitish swirl of moving amber souls would lead me out of Appalachia and into bliss. Redfield, trying to capitalize on the wild success of TCP, has shown himself to be a totally incompetent hack. This is dreadful, unintelligible trash. Avoid it. Trust me

Summary: Insightful, thought provoking and energy generating.
Review: An excellent literary experience...this book takes concepts that people are thinking about right now and puts them in a perspective for the general public. A true definition of a literary masterpiece. This book gives off energy and realization. There are no coincidences, but opportunities if we read the signs. The ideas are presented in an exciting story format, an adventure, that put realization to the ideas already in so many of our heads. My only disappointment is that with such a cliffhanger, I didn't have The Tenth Insight at my side

Summary: Yuk Yuk Yuk: A Parable for the Masses or Condecension?
Review: While "The Celestine Prophecy" struck the imagination and ingnited the dormant spirits of millions, "The Tenth Insight" (also known by me as "The Cure For Insomnia") condecends its readers with its high school reading level prose and thoroughly untenable unfolding events. Redfield stretches the concept of "suspension of disbelief" beyond the acceptable level. He couldn't even "suspend the incredulous" in this one. I was moved by the spiritual message of "The Celestine Prophecy" and would have once again tolerated Redfield's sophmoric writing style had he risen the story even slightly above the genre of really bad science fiction. 'Twas a painful read

Summary: I want to exprience it all.
