Synchronicity & the Seventh Seal

Rating:
Summary: Excellent read! A mind opening experience.
Review: Peter Moon never lets me down as a writer to take the imagination to a level where I did not know possible. I have all of his books and enjoyed each in a different way, as well as having this same experience with each book. Synchronicity and Seventy Seal lived up to my expectations of a mind-expansion experience. I am glad this author continues to unfold new frontiers that are controversial and does so that the subject is easy to understand for the common man. I would also suggest checking out his previous publications.

Summary: Beyond the Stars
Review: The title of my review refers to my opinion that giving a Peter Moon book "stars" in itself is a strange concept: What is it I'm rating? If it's the literary style, then it gets zero stars; if it's the content - and if you can admit there is even the remotest possibility that it's even partially "true" - then there aren't enough stars in the universe, or at least our universe.

Reading "Synchronicity & the Seventh Seal" isn't easy, and it's even harder if you haven't read any of Mr. Moon's other books. Frankly, I'd say reading it before reading the others will leave you "lost in space". It's not so much that Synchronicity & the Seventh Seal carries on where the others left off, since each one meanders in a different direction of possibility.

The problem is all the Moon books are hard to read because, in fact, they're not directed at a "general audience": you either have a special, personal reason - a belief - that leads you to read them, or you're searching.

Hocus pocus? Maybe, but I can tell you it's not a book to pick up if you're simply looking for a "good read"; you won't get through it. That is, unless you're looking for what it has to offer. Or maybe I should repeat, unless you're looking for something ...

What this book has to offer - even more than the other Peter Moon books - is a fascinating pulling together of arcane references, a historical scope that's as breathtaking as it is "weird", and an explanation of a type of reality that takes some courage to admit might be related to "reality". (Yep, you read it right.)

Ahhh yes, is it reality or fiction? For the "average person" it probably doesn't make much difference, since the average person's reality will only coincide tangentially with what Mr. Moon's talking about.

My last comment is that for some, Mr. Moon's writing style is a bit problematic. It's been called "childish" or simply "bad". I say If you're looking for "literary style", read somebody else's books. Literary style is not what this book is about.

Like everything in life, it's a matter of choice.
