Summary: From Europe: Full of knowledge; very very actual
Review: Fact is that Icke with this book has done a good job.
In Europe more and more people are fully aware of what is going on. Via the internet people can exchange their views & insights of Icke's books. And this can be exploded if the critical mass is obtained. The Illuminati are also located in Europe and Icke points them with their names, symbolism and habits.Germany: a lot of young people is aware of
France: people discussions
Netherlands: many know what Bush, Kissinger etc are doing. Italy: same
G. Brittain: they can know more because the books are in English. About shape-shifting: very funny but difficult to understand.
Icke must better explain this. Maybe it has more to do with Aura-reading etc. "Children of the Matrix" is a book of everything.
Take your time for it. Amazingly this book focuses on Bush etc. BEFORE the WTC attacks. Further recomm.: The knowledge in this book must be more structured and organized.

Summary: A Selective Reader
Review: WOW! What has this guy Icke been smokin' . . . . I'm interested in the genre of information, but this guy, on his own website, acknowledges his "level of education" as being elementary . . . oh really! But I bet he can add--his bank deposits anyway, as undoubtedly others of his class of intellect really believe this ...>A search of the Amazon collection for "New Age" finds a total of 21,394 books, tapes and videos to purchase. Try any of them, except this author, anything else would have to be more interesting and, definitely, more intellectual!! Bush and Gore, and hundreds, perhaps thousands even, are lizards who need to drink human blood to perpetuate their "human" physical appearance. Uh, duh . . .! They are probably snakes in the grass, but lizards? Ha ha, I fell off my chair laughing; then I threw this stupid book away.

Summary: Que loco!
Review: I'm not 100% convinced that these reptilian beings exist and I'm quite sure that a good chunk of David Icke's information is squewed and not all-accurate, BUT it is worth taking this ride. Just the fact that he has the stamina to investigate the Illuminati is admirable. At the most watered down, he says this: we are not thinking for ourselves as a people and in that absence, others are making huge decisions for us...and what horrible decisions they are. Not many people would deny this. David is a bullhorn shouting "WAKE UP" to a very asleep world. Most of us go about our lives quite asleep while "They" make sinister decisions for all of us. There are more of "us" than there are of "them, so the call to wake up and do the right thing is a high one. David tells us to be ourselves, find our own truth...and fill this world with love instead of fear.
Can't find no fault in that!

Summary: A most enjoyable work of fiction!
Review: I have been studying conspiracy cults, particularly of the CIA/MKULTRA variety ever since I heard a half-crazed Vietnam Vet in Austin, Texas tell me with a straight face ... that I "had to watch this tape" explaining just _how_ the Reptilian-Nordics interbred with the Aryan super-race on the lost island of Atlantis to create.. Queen Elizabeth II and George Bush Sr.. A thrilling work of fiction if ever there was one. Don't get me wrong, I _really_ enjoy this book. The thing is that you have to keep in mind at all times that it's of the neo-Nazi "my brown-haired blue-eyed kids are WAY more special than your half-Mexican-kids-that-look-almost-exactly-the-same". Scariest phenomenon in cult lit since The Turner Diaries (which led to the real-life bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Bldg. some years back). At any rate, there is much here of real worth and merit, and once you get over the "Nazis secretly won WWII and Hitler's gonna come back any day now so be sure to buy lots and lots of GOLD and post-Y2K post-9/11 supplies" angle, it's surprisingly easy to stomache. In reality: * Babylon = the real Hanging Gardens of Babylon, a true place existing 5000+ years ago before the book of Genesis in the Bible really gets going. * the Garden of Eden = a metaphor for Man's sin in thinking himself better than others, or his woman, and thirsting too much for the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil instead of enjoying the tastier fruit of Eternal Life (whatever that means for you). * the "lost island" of Lemuria = the breakup of the tribes around the time the last ice age really got going, represented by Noah and his Ark in the Bible (which most likely did happen, according to the original scriptures). * the "lost island" of Atlantis = the breakdown in society among the islands of Greece, the rise of the Roman Empire, the rise in Christianity and formation of the Roman Catholic Church. * the Reptilian-Nordic Super-Race = just another word for "Aryan", the imaginary (there IS no such thing as a "pure-bred white person" people!!!) super-race that the Germans were looking for under the disasterous reign of Adolf "nobody realizes I look almost exactly like Charlie Chaplin" Hitler.. Sieg Heil.. Other than those minor details, I quite enjoyed the book.

Summary: Can Icke Save Our Souls? NO!
Review: This reminds me of George Orwell's 1984 or Animal Farm in that it presents a dismal view of the world where humanity's spirit is crushed by those in power and there is no escape. What I really want to see is an honest, balanced book concerning the nature of the unseen forces that have enslaved the minds of the masses. This is not that book. Icke provides a quote from Carlos Castaneda's last book mentioning how a predator came out of the cosmos to enslave mankind. But in that book the predator turned out to be "inorganic beings", not lizards. So it appears there is a devious side to Mr Icke in that he is manipulating someone else's words to appear to support his argument! To its credit, the book provides a plausible account of how those in power procure children for Satanic ritual abuse and Icke promotes that fine book "The Medical Mafia" in the pages. Plus he also gives the lowdown on flouride, aspartame and Prozac. Unfortunately, the advice he gives on how to escape the matrix is to show love to everyone and respect everyone no matter how they live their life. He then expresses his love towards George Bush, Kissinger and some other usual suspects. Well I can imagine the Power Elite will really be terrified at the thought of readers sending their love to them. Maybe if I send some love to the taxman he might let me off my tax bill!! It seems to me that Icke has somehow got himself snared in the matrix of the "collective unconcious" or he has switched sides or been converted. Could he be an expression of the controlling force on human minds? The advice on dealing with the oppression/suppression of humanity in Castaneda's book (The Active Side of Infinity) is to be disciplined and refrain from self-indulgence. This seems more constructive at least. In the meantime from now on I AM GOING TO BE WARY OF ANYONE WHO SAYS WE HAVE NO FREE WILL AND ARE PART OF A COLLECTIVE UNCONCIOUS. Now, anyone for an organised and disciplined slaves' revolt?

Summary: response...
Review: Just get the book would ya. if it does nothing for you, the least it will be is better than a good movie... Reviews mean nothing, and in a sort of response to the above 'review' It seems that most information and the TROUBLE with most information is that most of it is based on the authors or presentors own belief, as you say you wished he would have had presented, and also research of his own....what, may I ask is that supposed to mean.... did you stop for one second to contemplate just how much research went in to compiling such a work as this book...apperantly not...but anyway, its reccomended...its good...and like i said, if nothing else, highly entertaining.

Summary: Backs up his theories over and over again
Review: I'm only partially through this book, about 100 pages. It starts out kind of slow with so much information thrown at you it seems like a Broker selling you stocks... Lots of things I didn't understand. Further on in, though, he starts slowing down and explaining more into detail. It's becoming more and more easier to understand, now. There is a lot of information that seems like it should (if it isn't) be true. Kind of weird. This is absolutely a book for anyone into the paranormal to read!

Summary: I Like Icke
Review: I must say, this was a slight disappointment. I have come to expect my share of Revelations from David Icke, but while Children of the Matrix fills out some details of The Biggest Secret, and the author does not hesitate to Name Names as is his wont, I found no blockbuster new information here. Most conspicuous in its absence: there is still no answer to Frank Zappa's query of old, "Who are the Brain Police?!?"

Summary: This is absolutely amazing stuff
Review: Funnily, while other contributors appear to have problems accepting the reptilian connection in Icke's expositions, I find them very easy indeed to believe. Perhaps its my African culture which has long recognised the existence of these other realms and dimensions. But I don't at all find it hard to believe that ONLY NON-HUMANS - demons to be precise - are morally capable of unleashing the enormous, vapid cruelty that has for so long characterised our existence on earth, from the orcestrated wars which kill and maim millions, to the immensely odious, indeed, satanic economic policies of banking, 'globalisation', debt, monstrous military arsenals and horrendous, manufactured diseases such as AIDS. Truly, could a few REAL HUMANS on their own ever have conceived and devised such a global compendium of misery and death for the sole purpose of thwarting their own kind? That's what I find impossible to believe.

Summary: Don't know what to think.
Review: All these five and four star ratings read like publisher's and author's friends wrote them. I found the book interesting but not exceptional. My problems is he forms his beliefs on other people's research and not his own. He quotes from others who have had wierd or strange encounter stories but has had none of his own. Claims to believe in several conspiracies but has no first hand knowledge of them. In this Genre, this book is not even a contender. Read 'The 12th Planet' or other books by Zecharia Sitchin. Read 'Rule by Secrecy' or other best selling books by Jim Marrs. Read 'Alien Rapture' by Brad Steiger or any other of his 150 books. Icke is a 'self promoter' where Sitchin, Marrs, and Steiger's work and career speak from themselves.
