    <body><![CDATA[A modern, areligious parable, <em>The Celestine Prophecy</em> offers instruction and direction on the path toward spiritual fulfillment and enlightenment in the thin disguise of an adventure story. <br/><br/>While cover story is clearly only a vehicle meant to convey the insights, it can be entertaining, a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16418096">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[In many ways, The Celestine Prophecy was the book that opened the door to the New Age movement in books. Before this book, finding a book on spirituality meant reading &quot;longhair&quot; books that often spoke in ethereal terms. Finding any of these such books meant traveling to a large bookstore,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10169903">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An unbelievable book, that can be read one of two ways, you can simply read it as an adventure story of a man struggling to understand what it is he wants from life, or, as I have done, you can read it as a self help book.  <br/><br/>What a self help book it is.  It really encourages you to look a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44781805">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I started off really liking this book and thinking that I agreed with a lot of what it had to say. Sure, the story itself might not be true, but the author has some good ideas about why we should be good to each other.<br/>Then it made a severe left turn not only into very religious territory, but ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3082018">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[ This was an awesome book to read in high school. A very easy read, and the spiritual insights can be applied to any faith or religion. <br/><br/>The crappy part is how incredibly commercial the book has gotten. The movie was ridiculously bad, the following insights are contrived, and all the expe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22225578">more...</a>]]></body>
