Recommended for: no one
Read in August, 2007

I really hoped this book would be as good as "everyone" says it is. I was totally underwhelmed. Painfully jejune plot, paper-thin characters, pedestrian prose, and for what? A handful of ridiculous "insights" about how our expectations affect the physical world and how we fight for each other's "energy." Maybe if I sit down and meditate toward this book I can make it vanish permanently.

Chris I couldn't agree more... I was utterly shocked when I read that the Mayans did not actually die out, but became 'invisible' after they 'vibrated' at a higher energy... Until now, I could not believe that this book became a bestseller.

Mary I do not know anyone that said it was good???

Tim Then you are indeed lucky to be surrounded by such people. To admit that people I know liked it instills great shame in me. Absolute drivel masquerading as fiction.

Tania For some reason I read "equestrian prose" instead of "pedestrian prose". I guess I would have finished the book if it were equestrian prose, though.
