 Completely lost me... July 11, 2008

So tell me now, if we were all clairvoyants, could it be possible that we all could actually see one another's auras?
Are you certain Redfield hadn't smoked a joint first before he wrote this book, because it sounded like he most likely trippin'.
...One of the most controversial part of the book had to do with a white calf, but honestly I just couldn't finish the book nor get a really good grasp of its concept.
 Thought provoking. July 2, 2008
A very interesting title. If only things were as clear in life as in this book.
Not for me June 26, 2008

This book was not for me. If it's for you, that's fine, but I felt like it was a Dan Brown novel crossed with that What the Bleep movie, only written by a high school kid and totally boring.

I'd like to call this thing "tripe" but tripe is something actually useful--you can make menudo with it. Garbage can be compacted and used to make...something. Using those standards, "The Celestine Prophecy" is of some use, too. It gives True Believers a mythos to base their impossible faith in.

Look elsewhere for good fiction and/or philosophy May 30, 2008
The Celestine Prophesy either tried to be a philosophical explanation of life's events presented by the use of fiction, or a fictional story about a man's search for meaning. No matter the intent, Redfield succeeds at neither as the philosophy lacks depth and the storyline is without any gusto.
If this book has any merit it is a result of establishing at least enough curiosity in what was to come next to finish the book. On this basis alone, I gave it two stars instead of one. However, if you are looking for entertaining fiction or thought provoking insight, there are far better books that are much more worthy of your time.
