wrong end of the trumpet...hmm? - By: H. W. E., 01 Jul 2008 
I came across this book some years ago and, with a grounding in arts & only a couple of years of very elementary science, I cannot possibly comment on the current veracity of the ideas in it. The word 'science' is somewhat misleading deriving as it does from the Latin 'to know' whereas 'to guess' would provide a more honest root to this ever changing discipline.
It is some time since I read McTaggart but I recalll it was an intersting read which triggered a tentative foray into Quantum Theory which sounded to me pretty much what the ancients & mystics had 'known' alll along - although from my point of view McT was looking at things down the wrong end of the trumpet.
What Quantum seems to tell us is that there are no absolutes & that our thoughts, emotions & intentions form our experience of the 'material world'. Those still hooked on the idea of an 'absolute' (as I understand even Einstein was - spending the rest of his life trying to disprove his equation) will find refuge in religion of one sort or another... including science which has, for many, replaced older faiths.
So... having written this review of the book & talked it up, I suppose I'd better read it again to see if I agree with myself. Hey, ho...
Interesting, but not a particularly easy read - By: Janie, 13 May 2008 
This book is full of interesting information, & cutting edge ideas based on new research into physics. However, I found it quite hard-going at times - the author's style isn't particularly readable. I often had to grit my teeth in determination just to make it to the end of a chapter - & unfortunately I gave up about two-thirds way through the book. I think this would be a great book in the hands of a more entertaining writer.
The Field on CD - By: Mrs. Wctunnard, 25 Mar 2008 I opted to purchase the Field on CD & I loved every word! What was more for someone like me who knows little of Quantum Physics but am eager to understand it, I found that I understood the book (CD) completely.
As a Reiki healer used to receiving & sending distant healing I was thrilled to learn how this is achieved. The book impressed me so much that I am currently ordering extra copies for my family & friends. Everyone should know about this. It should be taught in schools & I hope in time that it will be so that positive thinking will heal our earth & alll those who live on it both man & beast.
It didn't just change my life, it made sense of things I've pondered fr some time.
Thank you Lynne, you did a great job with this book, as well as with The Intention Experiment.
Informative - By: Galvin Roy Fox, 08 Mar 2008 Lynne McTaggart gives a very detailed picturesc & journalistic coverage of these extremely interesting experiments. It does cover the same old subjects as some other books that are around at the moment but it is relatively unbiased & very clear about them. It is left entirely for the reader to decide what to make of the facts. What I make of it so far is that if 99.9% of the universe is made of 'dark matter' & 99.9% of matter is empty space, & alll empty space is thoroughly ridden with 'virtual' particles, that arise from fluctuations in the 'zero-point energy field', only to anihilate each other almost immediately after coming into being, then what else could this 'dark matter' be, if not the combined mass of this unimagineably vast number of 'virtual' particles that exist temporarily everywhere alll the time? It would explain why they've not found any yet. This book gives full details of experiments in psychokinesis, remote viewing, & precognition/premonition, & advice that anyone doing these experiments themselves can pick up on. The amount of research that has gone into this book makes it a real gem, even if you have already read other books on the same subject.
Nothing new - ignore the publisher's blurb! - By: Jan J. Mikula, 22 Feb 2008 
The biggest diasppointment in relation to this book is that there's almost nothing in it that hasn't already been covered [and in a rather more interesting style] by people such as Lyalll Watson [from "Supernature" in 1973 through his later books in the 1980's]and Michael Talbot ["The Holographic Universe"]. Disappointing, not original, & pretentious to boot.
