popgoesbitty 's review for:
The Celestine Prophecy
by James Redfield
I put this book down about 20 pages before the ending after being awestruck for the first 95% of it. I thought it was a beautifully insightful (but obviously fictional) interpretation of the world. I'd be a bit concerned if someone took it to heart and actually BELIEVED some of this stuff, but it was interesting nonetheless. However, it became extremely dated, and blatantly offensive, and downright impossible, once it got to the last insight. I can tell that Redfield is a tad convinced he's rewriting the bible, or Dianetics, depending on how you look at it? And he's not far off--the blatant homophobia in its most crucial parts reminds me of both of those texts so...mission accomplished James bud!
