Summary: Utterly worthless
Review: This book was reccomended by an aquaintance as a fabulous book that would be "a thrill to read." What I found however was much less than that. The incoherent story line and out there themes leave anyone with a shred of objective thought scratching their heads wondering why they should waste another minute on it. With that said, I did not finish it after reading 2/3 of it. I couldn't bring myself to think that I not only put down 8 bucks but also a couple hours of my time.

Summary: Transformitive!
Review: I read this book, or should I say absorbed this book and immediately wanted more. Thankfully I was guided to the next books and some complimentary ones too. The book has completely changed the way I view things in my life. Noticing the synchronicities that surround me has been an exciting way to look at the world and I actually now own 3 copies of the book. I keep loaning them out. Imagine if we could raise our collactive consciousness to really change the world. Anything is possible and this book and "it's friends" really make that point. The story was engaing to me... we all have those questions and wonder what things in our lives "mean". I would highly recommend this book to anyone... the best part is I can also relate this book to the lessons in my life and in my church... the message is always the same... it is about Love! Enjoy!

Summary: Eye Opening
Review: This book and it's sequel the Tenth Insight were thrilling. They help you see things in a different light while teaching you how to find harmony with everything, and it takes you on an excited adventure leaving you to wonder what is going to happen next in their quest.

Summary: I don't think so...
Review: I read this book years ago, and I wasn't terribly impressed with it. The story used to deliver the message could have been more entertaining, and the message itself is more than a little "out there". However, I'll give it three stars for two reasons:
1) There's a part in this book about noticing and paying attention to coincidences, something I strongly believe in.
2) There is also a part about the differences between people who create their own energy, as opposed to those who have to steal it from others. I'm not so sure this has anything to do with energy, but it works well as a metaphor. I think everyone can think of people who are difficult to be around, because they take so much of your positive "energy", in an effort to give themselves a boost.I wouldn't advice against buying this book, but I can't recommend it either. It does have its good points, but there aren't enough of them.

Summary: Excellent message!
Review: The story is not magnificent (but still very entertaining) but the message is just fantastic! Through his story, the author sends us various important messages about relationships, spirituality, evolution, and human development. I thought many of the messages were very insightful and inspiring although some of the energy vibration stuff was a bit too "out there" for me. Overall, I would recommend this book quite highly. You can also read a much more grounded and comprehensive version of these types of messages in a book called "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. This book explains many of these things discussed in the Redfield's book using many well-known theories in psychology. It is a real pleasure to read as well!

Summary: Great book
Review: It's an easy to read version of philosophy and religion bound together. It is written in a light language, but ideas it has are marvellous.

Summary: Read More and Be Inspired By these Great Books!!!
Review: Can't get enough of visionary fiction? Neither can I! These are just a few titles that will inspire you: The Celestine Prophecy (James Redfield) ; The Butterfly (Jay Singh); The Monk who sold his Ferrari (Robin Sharma) ; The Alchemist (Paulo Coehlo); Chasing Rumi (Roger Housden). My favorite is by far and away THE ALCHEMIST! Go ahead...be inspired. Happy reading. Donald S. Buckland.

Summary: Helpful book
Review: I thought the Celestine Prophecy was a great book. I also thought it was helpful interms of my situation of intuition. I use to think that having a strong intuition was not a natural thing and that when i had insightful thoughts that it was just somethink that happened occasinally. I had many questions and by reading this book most if not all of them were answered. I now have a different view on nature and people. Though it was by coincidence that i found this book in my house i am glad to have read and experience the wonder of this book. jess

Summary: Awkward...Painful
Review: I thought for sure on a good recommendation that Redfield was setting forth some new and enlightening ideas! Ideas that we need in these modern times to evolve. NOT. I knew that a nearly 10 year old book would have gotten plenty of exposure to the vast general public by now, and if it was worth something; or worth reading; it would be worth more money!! I chose not to purchase it. Instead I read my daughters copy. I've strived long and hard to be a clear and guiding force to her. So when she told me in the car one night that this book had changed her life, I wanted to see what pushed her buttons, were it not, I, her guiding light. I am upset that such inaccurate, simplistic drivel sandwiched in a really [weak] literary wrapper has made such an impact on so many people including my daughter. I can't waste my time with such hype and it disturbs me that my daughter gets so easily sucked in. It was discouraging that there isn't anything more meaningful left today to read and write about that has any impact on the individual. Thank goodness for cookbooks.
