José de Faria e Maya (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 30, 2002

We are the Anunnaki's sons, and have been given a push in our development by those minor gods. The big question is then, who is the Anunnaki's God? The real Universal God?The Holly Spirit, the togetherness of all consciousness, is the Universal God, but by being such an abstract idea people have tended to forget, and revert to more humanized types of gods. We know that certain knowledge, given to us by Entities from another planet, should be soon disclosed, as with it we still can avoid the Earth destruction by pollution and fossil energy exhaustion.We have in our hands the ways to leave to our sons and grandsons a better and cleaner world, and just because of such an egoistic scare, we have no right to cowardly, like Nero enjoying the sight of Rome in flames, keep just for ourselves the last days of our Planet Earth The Universe has plenty of time for itself, and if we fail, others will win and pass the bridge safely. The end result is in our hands.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing..., July 10, 2006

This review is from: The Anunnaki's Children (Paperback)

Being a long-time fan of Stichin, the title of this book immediately grabbed my attention and I was truely looking forward to reading it. However, much to my dismay it turned out to be one of the *worst* books I've ever read.

Curiously, at the beginning of the book there is a disclaimer that states "This book is a work of fiction" -- even though it is quite obviously a summary of the author's own beliefs and is in no way written in a "fictional" format.

"The Anunnaki's Children" reads much like a discussion forum rant, completely lacking in focus and structure. Likewise, the grammar, syntax, spelling, and punctuation are absolutely deplorable; and the bold, itallics, and underline useage goes way overboard. Granted, much of this likely stems from the fact that English is not the author's first language, but there seems to have been little to no attempt made at translating and/or editing this book before presenting it to the (English-speaking) public. There were many passages that made no sense at all, not because they were too "deep", but rather because they were worded so poorly. It took me twice as long as it should have to finish this thin book because I kept having to re-read sections, either because of their wording, or because my mind kept wandering off out of boredom.

For me, there was absolutely nothing new in this book, being basically a rehashment of various books and articles that have brought the author to this point in his own personal beliefs. He relies heavily on quotes from other writers, which he often reproduces inaccurately. There is no independent research apparent on his part, and his "facts" have a tendency to be incomplete or wrong altogether. My favorite example is on page 53 where in bold letters he states that the primary colors are "red, green, and blue" (red, YELLOW, and blue are the primary colors... but YOU should already know that).

One thing that bothered me on a more personal level was the repeated reference to future generations as "our sons and gransons", rather than the more politically correct (in most Western cultures) "children and grandchildren". The author is also strongly influenced by Christianity, quoting *many* biblical passages and incorporating a classic "Doomsday" message, albeit with a New Age slant. Toward the end of the book he presents his ideas for "saving" humanity from self-destruction, but I found many of these so-called solutions to be quite naive and not well thought out.

I honestly would have given this book only one star, but I can at least appreciate the author's enthusiasm and overall "message". I got the impression that he had all of this amazing information running around in his head and wanted so desperately to share it with others. I will at least give him credit for trying.

4.0 out of 5 stars A tough read but worth it., January 25, 2003

Ask yourself this question. "Would I recognize the spiritual truth if it was staring me in the face?" Then, read this book by Faria e Maya and ask yourself the same question again.

Any diehard fan of J.R.R. Tolkien, or Erich von Däniken should spend some time with The Anunnaki's Children. It's a slim volume and a tough read but it might just convince you that our evolutionary roots lie somewhere between The Lord of the Rings, Chariots of the Gods, and whichever religious scripts your culture has immersed you in.
