Rating: Summary: Belongs in the 99 cent bin! Review: The one thing that's driving me crazy is why the hell I bought this book. Even if you liked the Celestine Prophecy
which has to be the most over-rated book of all time,
you could not like this book if you have more than three brain cells. While the Celestine Prophecy was
as boring as watching paint dry, at least it had
SOME well founded concepts amongst the garbage. This
one had nothing. Please save yourself the $$$.
Rating: Summary: A huge disappointment Review: James Redfield got greedy and took this to the publisher too soon. What a shame!! It could have been a good sequel to Celestine Prophecy. Writing quality deserved a "D" at best. Recall it and try again Mr. Redfield
Rating: Summary: Unbelievable that crap like this was published again! Review: OK let's face it, the Celestine Prophecy was poorly written and silly but had a bit to offer if you wanted a new way to look at life. Now Redfield has written a sequel to his so called "genius" first book. I was unfortunate enough to buy a copy of The Tenth Insight and I am not too happy that I did. If you thought CP was poorly written wait till you get this one! The plot is even more silly and the whole book is full of images I think could only be described as drug induced. The whole point is that they are searching for the tenth insight an insight that has never been written that each must "uncover themselves" come on already! Redfield needs to get over himself and realize that while he may have a valuable way to look at life the fact is he is a miserable failure as a writer. It would have been much easier to write these supposed "insights" point by point on half a page in a newspaper and frankly I think it would have been much more entertaining
Rating: Summary: Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me! Review: I will admit-I bought in to the hype surrounding The Celestine Prophecy. It read like a decent episode of MacGyver-thinly plotted, obvious, but you stayed with it to see how it would turn out. The "Insights" were pleasant and one could apply them to everyday life. Thinking the second would be another quick and easy adventure read, I picked it up. Completely unreadable, full of badly written hallucinogenic passages that wouldn't pass muster in a standard trippy 1960's psychedelic film like The Trip or Psych-Out. To cleanse my soul, I turned to Martin Amis' The Information and Elmore Leonard's Riding The Rap-I feel much better
Rating: Summary: It's a real page-turner, where's the 11th Insight? Review: Easy to read, a real page-turner with nearly the same excitement as the original. Leaves you wanting more insights
Rating: Summary: More & More Review: I'm a little blown away with some of the reviews I've read here on The Tenth Insight. I read the Celestine Prophesy several years ago then immediately went out and bought the Tenth Insight and the Tape of the Celestine Prophesy Guide. Having gone through some challenging times in my life over the past nine months I have read and re-read these books, listened to the tape and found the Eleventh Insight (Secret of Shambhala) and am here today trying to track down anything else by this enlightened author that I can put my hands or ears on. With all the negative images that come at us every day from the news, and other people that haven't learned how to deal with their own "control dramas" what better reason to try to learn and hold ourselves in a more enlightened place when we are able, and to assist as we can people who are stuck in the fear. If you didn't grasp the theories of the first 9 Insights then go back and try it again when you are in a different frame of mind. LIFE CHANGING!
Rating: Summary: Skip this one Review: This novel was definitely better than the first of the series "The Celestine Prophecy". It was not repetitive in any sense and questions many things we all question. Since it doesn't constantly repeat the same things I found it more flowing and less irritated. I finished reading it in three days and I would read it again.
