Title: Why do people like this drivel?
Product review: I'm amazed by the success of this "spiritual" novel. Even my most intellectual friends were taken in. I knew better, though. While the actual content of the book was adequate, if not shocking (I thought that any self-respecting spiritual person knew about human energies and such), it was planted in the midst of this horrible, cliche-ridden story with the stock reluctant hero in a stock South American country facing stock high-level corruption. IJames Redfield has the potential to be a competent spiritualist, perhaps, but judging from the way The Celestine Prophecy has no defined writing style at all, I I defy all of you tools of the bestseller list and say that Mr. Redfield is no writer.
