Pros: Four or five of the nine insights are intriguing...
Cons: Four or five of the nine insights are either too basic, or too fanciful...
‘The Celestine Prophecy’, a book written by James Redfield, presents itself not just as a work of fiction, but as a book of theories also – theories that attempt to pin down the dynamics of an invisible energy that surrounds, permeates ...

Pros: Some interesting concepts
Cons: Not for everyone
What do you reckon? Is a coincidence just a coincidence, or is there something a bit more to it than this? Say you had a feeling, or a hunch, to go somewhere and you went. When you got there you met a long lost friend, someone you hadn't seen for...

Pros: -Intriguing concepts
-Provides a meaningful afterthought
Cons: -Juvenile rhetoric
-Underdeveloped plot and characters
The overwhelming success of “The Celestine Prophecy” by James Redfield was destined to be a thorn by the side of English literature. The author’s rhetoric is rudimentary and bland, while the novel’s setting, which is supposed to be ...

Pros: It will suck you in and not let you go... you will relate.
Cons: Again, is it real or does that even matter?
This is one of those books that a friend said "read." To which I replied my standard answer "when do you suggest I'll fit it in to my schedule?" And that statement is true... if a book doesn't grab my attention, I won't find time to...

Pros: You start to feel like you are part of it.
Cons: You start to feel like you are part of it.
I just want to start by saying that I know it is a fiction, but still what a great book. It combines an element of suspense, spirituality, higher self and just plain old interesting material to read. My wife got me this book as a suggestion from a...

Pros: excellent insight into spirituality and energy
Cons: the fictional story is clumsy and gets in the way
I enjoy the message in this book. It provides insights into everything from the birth of life in the universe to human behavior. I would have enjoyed it more, though, as a non-fiction piece. I would like to reflect on the Insights one by one in great...

Pros: Thought provoking, well written.
Cons: Hard to believe it's fiction.
That's the question that you will find yourself asking after turning the final page of this book, which I have just done for the seventh time. Why have I read it seven times? Well simply because it has got to be the most thought provoking, spiritualy...

Pros: Excellent blend and well written
Cons: Can get unbelievable, breaking the spell of the story
The Celestine Prophecy was an incredible book. It blended spiritualism, fantasy, and adventure in a very believable way. It was exciting, moving, and I feel I know more about myself because I read it. I can't think of any book that's ever done...

Pros: well written and inspiring concepts
Cons: makes u realize how lame real life is
The most difficult aspect of reading "The Celestine Prophesy" is convincing yourself that it's only fiction. The explanations of human character and energy levels may seem to some far fetched, but as i read it I realized it was something I...

Pros: Spiritual Wisdom, Adventurous
Cons: N/A
This was one of the first Spiritual Growth books I have read. I feel it's one of the best.
There are many ways you can interrupt this book; you can look at it as an adventure story or as a true meaningful story with lessons of life and...
