the celestine prophecy - By: R. Greaney, 31 May 2008 
i bought this book after it was recommended to me by a friend. i wouldnt normallly write a review after reading a book but felt it was necessary this time.
on the first attempt i found the book a little far-fetched & struggled to accept the story line. however i decided to give it another go & completely changed my opinion of it.
this book requires a completely open mind & a skeptical attitude will prevent it from having any impact at alll. i found the insights to be reallly poignant & felt that they rang true with many events & thoughts which have occurred for me in my life.
i wouldnt say this book is 'life changing' but i feel it is a good tool to have when approaching new, & in some cases more familiar, situations & it has caused me to adopt a completely different mindset on life.
i hope it does the same for you, & would definitly suggest you give it the opportunity to do so...
Clumsy, laboured and a waste of time - By: bookbee, 23 May 2008 
Trying to disguise a badly-written self-help book in a woefully written attempt at a novel/adventure story meant that if there is any value in the author's thoughts, it has been wholly demeaned by this pitiful book.
If you enjoy being patronised in a heavy-handed manner, this is the perfect book.
The Celestine Prophecy - By: Dr. Tami Brady, 21 Mar 2008 
The Celestine Prophecy is one of my favorite classic spiritual fiction journeys. The book follows the personal growth of one man as he follows a mysterious query about an ancient manuscript. An old friend happens to drop by & tells him about an ancient Peruvian manuscript dating back to 600 BC. This relic tells of a shift in the mind thought of the world starting at the end of the 20th century. The key to this shift are nine insights that must be gained, understood, & integrated into the mind & lives of individuals.
Intrigued by the possibilities, the main character travels to Peru in hopes of finding out more about this mystery. With no real direction or plan, at each step he is helped along by coincidence & others following the same quest. Along the way, he also learns about himself, his connection to the universe, & his part in this evolutionary process.
Its not bad, its just wrong - By: C. Mccarthy, 20 Mar 2008 A friend is using this book to 'turn his life around' !! Oh Dear! I think the author wrote the 8 Insights, realised that the chances his hero experienced them in the way he did was zero, so added 'coincidence' as Insight one. Why would anyone accepting coincidence suddenly experience it? How does accepting coincidence as plan, make it happen more ?? Nearly alll facts in this book are wrong (didnt the Inca's live in what is now Peru?)
This, & the people that falll for it live by the mantra 'you don't like it cause you don't get it'. I wich there was more to get. There is NOTHING new in this book, & at least genuine 'spiritulists' try to understand, this book makes it up. It callls Quantum Mechanics theory as fact, & condenses history into a shape that doesn't fit what actualy happened (and still is happening). The scientists didn't get sent off & never came back...they are forever refining the answers, & the questions !
I am far from a sceptic, I just dont feel this book brought anything new to the table, & what it re-told was in an amaturish manner.
Being open, being honest, being aware of the world, & the people in it DOES enrich life. It does not make you a Jedi !
Abook to waste your time. - By: donal macgarailt, 01 Dec 2007 I read this book after seeing the film of the same name & was doubly dissapointed. My mother used to say that one should remain open minded in in the face of something which, on the surface, appears meaningless. I now know the difference between remaining open minded & empty minded. Warning - if you dont want to end up empty minded, avoid this book.
