bookyanne 's review for:

The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

3.0

---

I like the insights. I also enjoyed that it had a focus on meditation, love & kindness, as well as alluding to service as the best step forward in evolution. However, I wasn't extremely fond of the writing. It felt more like reading a lecture than reading a book. I would have enjoyed it more if it was half the length. I felt the plot was rather contrived and mostly unneeded. It did slightly annoy me how much the main character seemed to not grasp at any of the ideas which made most characters give long, drawn-out explanations. Regardless, I liked the overall messages the book was trying to get across. I think everyone could benefit a thing or two from reading about these insights.
