ccnolan 's review for:

The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield
3.0

ummmmmmmmmmm. I don't know what to do with this. I listened to the whole book thinking it was a true story, rolling my eyes bc it just wasn't totally believable. At the end I discovered it was fiction. I'd like to re-read it, making notes on what he says. Some of what he presents are thoughts I've had that I'd like to hold onto. Like treating each moment and interaction as if it's supposed to happen and is part of a step in becoming more of you. Several part of the book felt quite sexist with the very clear presentation that woman need to be saved and protected, will wilt at touch. Gross.


How I rate books:
5 Stars= I absolutely loved it, felt very moved. Extraordinary. I rarely give this rating.
4 Stars= Well done
3 Stars= I enjoyed it but wasn't wowed. My most common rating
2 Stars=Meh
1 Stars= The kind of book that I feel shouldn't have been published bc it might discourage some from becoming readers.
