4.0 out of 5 stars An adventure of a lifetime., August 22, 2001

This review is from: 2012: The Shaman's Prophecy (Paperback)

This is a fast, and good researched story that could make a hit movie. One wonders about the author, if there are any personal experiences that are drawn upon. The next big, and final date is 2012 . I now feel better about that turning point for the human race. A lot of metaphysical answers and speculations are weaved through out the story. For me it was a profound book, and funny in places. Needless to say, I found it hard to put down. I now want to go to Mexico and visit a shaman, maybe not of the supernatural type though!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Older J.R.R. Tolkien fans &prophecy fans here's a good one, February 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: 2012: The Shaman's Prophecy (Paperback)

Read a lot of adventure books, but this is one of the best. It is so realistic i think the story could pass as non-fiction. Almost everything is believable. From the Indian tribes to the geography, and even the plant life. The characters are developed enough, a little more would be better, but there are only 3 to really get to know each seeking the mysterious shaman (shades of Castaneda)for a different reason. The bad guys, are very real and greedy and i wouldn't want to run into them for any reason. The powerful shaman who tasks the 3 wasn't disappointing, from the origins of man to the prophecy for the next 30 years, really hit a nerve. The tidbits extras at the end and the authors bio, really made me think. I agree, a good adventure story that should make a good movie

This is a good read that maybe the fans of TV shows like 'survivor' or the other adventure shows would like. The search for the shaman take them on a wild and dangerous adventure. Kinda like a Harry Potter for adults, but with subtle magic. The prophecy is kinda vague, but logical, with riddles and fits in with the story. It's a very realistic adventure that really messes with your head as they say. You will think about the book days later after reading . I know I did
