Title: Why I chose not to read this book
Product review: Here is a query I put out to some friends through e-mail, and a response from a very intelligent person: [My question] > Okay so I just finished reading a really stupid book someone gave me. How irritating. What a waste of time. And that made me wonder about what each of you thinks is the worst book you have ever read. I mean, the very, very worst. [his answer] Oh, this is easy. "The Celestine Prophecy." The worst book I have ever, ever read, or ever hope (if hope is the right word) to read. Read for our book club a year or so ago, or I wouldn't have made it past page 10. The book's only redeeming value? When asked what is the worst book I ever read, I no longer have to cogitate or hesitate, I can say Celestine, without further reflection. DON'T READ THIS BOOK. Pray for our country that it and its sibling remain best sellers after all this time. Maybe no one else is actually reading it - that would be the best we could hope for
