Title: Pure drivel
Product review: So it turns out that sometimes you CAN judge a book by its cover!! The announcement on the book jacket that the celestine prophecy is "a book that comes around once in a lifetime to change lives forever" was enough to arouse some pretty hard core negative intuitions in me. I should have listened to my aura and put it back on the shelf. Redfield's writing skills are pathetic. The characters are boring, shallow, predictable. The dialogue is contrived and unnatural. Sure, a handful of the ideas behind his "writing" aren't half bad, but none of it is anything that your average, half competent adult hasn't figured out on his/her own. He makes an astounding number of oversimplifications and gross generalizations. It's also obvious that Redfield needs to do some major brushing up on his biology
