I have read at least 10 other authors or translators/interpreters on the quatrains of Nostradamus. This book and its associated volumes, Volume I and Volume II, are the best books ever written on the great healer.

After reading this series on Nostradamus by Dolores Cannon, I went on to read every other book written by her that was still in print. Dolores Cannon has the ability to make complex concepts understandable.

In these Volumes on Nostradamus, the translations of the quatrains are from the Master himself. If you need to be convinced, just read the passages regarding the Bush-Gore elections. Remind yourself that the book was originally written in the 1980's.

I highly recommend that if you were allowed to read only one author on Nostradamus, then Dolores Cannon must be that author.

In reading any of Delores Cannon's books you get a lot of information that is believable. I have read all of her books and each new one surpasses the last. They are very enlightening and informative. I always look forward to her next book. The only problem is that she doesn't produce them as fast as I would like. I am very much looking forward to her next book, and would recommended them to everyone that is interested in the future of mankind.

It was comforting and practically nostalgic to re-enter the familiar world of Nostradamus and his conversations with Dolores and her various regressed subjects.

In the encounters with N reported in this volume, D reverts to using a few subjects, including Phil, she had previously availed herself of, and also tries out several new ones, whom she finds all can make contact with N at various ages.

However, I was somewhat disappointed by the book in the long run, since I found many of the quatrains, and their interpretations, uninteresting, and not seeming to deal with matters significant to our time.

I feel the need to reiterate that practically all N's quatrains, if not all of them, were completely incomprehensible and, it turns out misinterpreted by all translators, and indeed this was what N intended from the start, for his own protection, since he was persecuted by the Church authorities of his time. It is as though only now when N reappears on the scene, as it were, and interprets them for us, do they make any sense and validate their existence.

It turns out one of his quatrains (interpreted to D before the events actually occurred) dealt with the break-up of the Soviet Union into various independent states.

The volume contains an unlikely quatrain dealing with Live Aid concerts, concerts for raising money to "aid people stricken with catastrophe", etc. Understandably, N states that he has never heard that sort of music before, but is told by the subject that it is called "rock". He wrote this quatrain because the results of these concerts affected history, e.g. at the time of the Vietnam war when several protests were carried out in the form of such concerts, the result of all this being that the USA disengaged from the war.

There is more information about the Popes of our time, but this didn't make much sense to me, since I have no knowledge of, or interest in, popes or the Church, and cannot distinguish the various popes from each other. I believe I discussed N's mention of popes in a review of Book 1 or 2 in this series.

This volume also contains further information about the Anti-Christ, including drawings of him and the Imam, his uncle, created by a subject when returning from a regression where she saw them clearly. However, according to N, the Anti-Christ should have entered the scene long ago, at least in the last decade of the 20th century and revealed himself to us in connection with the waging of his wars. At this point in 2011 I still have no idea who he might be, though I admit I have no knowledge of political figures from the Middle East.

N still reprimands D for her total ignorance of French and basic French pronunciation despite his repeated corrections (I must admit it irritated me too - perhaps Americans don't learn French in school, in which case D's ignorance is understandable).

I have to point out to D (though I'm sure she's got better things to do with her time than read these on-line reviews of her books) that she could advantageously look into her use of the word "infer" when she means "imply", "ravish" when she means ravage, "worse" when she means "worst", and finally, "affect" as a noun when she means "effect". She commits these last two errors continually throughout the book, which I found quite irritating.

I found most of the book somewhat boring, since it seemed to provide very little new information, Perhaps the most interesting chapter is the one entitled "Nostradamus asks us questions", though I found it to be more a matter of N enlightening us with his wisdom than D enlightening N, since it turned out that in various respects N proved more knowledgeable than D. The two have various controversies, and these do not conclude with D understanding what he is on about. D aggressively defends the practice of modern medicine, which N sees as the administration including injection of poisons into our bodies, though he agrees that the occasional use of medicine might be necessary in urgent situations.

He understands that "disease isn't necessarily caused by bacteria or viruses --- but by our thoughts and karma" - a very advanced view for his time. He understands that "our repressed feelings and emotions, unfulfilled longings and desires, all affect the physical operation of our bodies --- if we're judging our past actions we can have a lingering, long-term disease like cancer." "The viruses, germs or bacteria do not cause illness." D remarks "This is what the scientists have found in their laboratories."

N states, moreover, that chemotherapy does terrible things to the inside of the body. He says the physician never heals the person, and he does know that now.

D, like most people regards organ transplants as a great advance in medicine, while to N's mind an organ transplant is the introduction into the body of a "huge foreign substance rather than tiny microscopic foreign substances".

(In support of N's view of the negative nature of transplants, I would state that I have learnt from various sources that we are held back in our journey to the spiritual world if our body contains an organ or organs originating from the body of another, or if one or more of our own organs have been placed in the body or bodies of others.)

N concludes that he wishes he had talked to his patients about their "goals, frustrations --- emotions, and also about God". In other words he became fully aware of the fact that the causes of illness are largely emotional.

N was/is thus an amazingly highly developed being.

The book of course contains various passages of interest over and above what I have just stated, but to my mind it is on the whole considerably less interesting than Volumes One and Two. Thus, I've awarded it three stars only.

However, if you're a Nostradamus fan it's still worth reading, and Dolores must be commended on the completion of this laborious work which came to comprise three volumes.

This book is the final work of Delores Cannons' trilogy on Nostradamus. It is a continuation of the interpretations of the quatrains with a few new twists which includes insights into his methods for healing others using various herbs and concoctions. Also, Nostradamus explains that there is hidden information, buried in the desert, somewhere in The Middle East that will help mankind. In addition, there is material concerning visitations by extra-terrestrials and when they will return. In my opinion, what completes this book and serves as a finishing touch is the last chapter-'And So It Begins'-in which Delores continues her regression techniques concerning the Anti-Christ and what he might look like from an artists' perspective. What makes this topic complete is her re-assurance, supported by Nostradamus, that humanity has the ability to change the dire predictions foretold for the world. She caps this chapter off by giving hope that this particular scenario is only one of many possibilities that could take place. Again, we must be aware that "thoughts are things" and our mass consciousness can create our future in a most positive way. Mankind is in control of their own destiny, if they wish to use the power of positive thinking to produce positive results. The last few pages provided us with a positive message that we are in control of our own fate-and so it continues!

(As things happen, I will update this review)

I am very skeptical of how this information was retrieved, but I am going to give credit where credit is due. The book is not simply an ambiguous set of predictions that can fit into many different types of events.

It is very specific on what will happen, with detailed information, and not only concentrates on what will happen but how. It describes it in a cause and effect way which I appreciate since I am more logically inclined, and I like details.

Here are a couple of my favorite examples:

"There is to be another shuttle disaster. Again there will be loss of life due to an explosion of the launch vehicle." (Volume III pg. 309)

The space Shuttle Columbia disaster occurred on February 1, 2003 almost a decade after this book was published. The shuttle (the launch vehicle) exploded just like Challenger before it but for different reasons. And the space shuttle program finished with its last mission on July 21, 2011, retiring the final shuttle in the fleet and the program. With the retirement of the space shuttle program, there is no possible way that a third or fourth space shuttle disaster could occur. Therefore, this was fulfilled.

"I saw the sky, and then I was looking down on the Middle East area...I see this as a revolution. Unrest in one country that leads to others. It starts off slowly and snowballs. It is in the Middle East." (Volume III pg. 174)

This has to refer to the Tunisian Revolution that has spread to other Arab nations this year in 2011. "Anger and violence intensified following Bouazizi's death on January 4, 2011, ultimately leading longtime President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to step down on January 14, 2011, after 23 years in power. The protests inspired similar actions throughout the Arab world; the Egyptian revolution began after the events in Tunisia and also led to the ousting of Egypt's longtime president Hosni Mubarak; furthermore, protests have also taken place in Algeria, Yemen, Jordan, Bahrain, Iraq, Mauritania, Pakistan and also Libya - where a full-scale rebellion has broken out - as well as elsewhere in the wider North Africa and Middle East." (Summary borrowed from Wikipedia)

I remember sitting in my dormitory and as the events were unfolding in Tunisia, I automatically knew from the following piece in the book that Gaddafi and the Tunisian president would shortly be removed from power in their countries:

"I see a picture of the Middle East conflict...I think the population is going to revolt also. It's hard to tell this person's age, but it appears that he has dark hair that is graying, a mustache and no beard. The people will revolt because of the lies, the hypocrisy, the stealing and using wealth for his own purposes." (Volume III. pg. 177)

Gaddafi looks so odd that I cannot really tell his age just by looking at him. He has never worn a beard. In other parts of the trilogy, Gadaffi is stated not to be intelligent and so when they used the words "this person in power I am looking at now is not intelligent enough" (Volume III pg. 177) This could also refer to the Tunisian prime minister "Zine El Abidine Ben Ali". The thing that throws me off is he is referred to as "a new leader" which means Gadaffi should be disqualified.

We are living in very interesting times right now. I kept reading this book, and I slowly check off the things that have happened as the book details. I do this by having stickies in my book on the things that happen. The author stopped putting updates on things that occurred in 2001. In 2011, this has proved to be a very historic year.

There are misses in the book. For example, Paul John II was said to be assassinated. There were many assassination attempts on him but he survived them all. However, in the third book it is stated that Nostradamus felt his death by assassination didn't feel so immediate. He died of natural causes in the early 2000s.

But there are far more hits. And there are more hits than chance would allow. I highly encourage anyone who has an open mind and likes the details to read this book.

This book I found easy to read and very believable. Dolores Cannon writes fascinating books about her true experiences with people that she has put under hypnosis and the information that comes out is not always their own past lives but other spirits using this opportunity to speak through these people to Delores on information they want us to know about. Nostradamus speaks to Dolores this way, saying how most of his predictions,(quatrains),were misunderstood because he had to disguise the information the way he did or he would have probably gone to jail or worse for that time period he lived in was under control of the king and church. The information in this book tells about the near future,(much of what is happening right now),the Anti-Christ, the shift of the world, extraterrestrials and the future, etc.

I'm very happy with content of book, quick postage to Australia. However, half the pages have come away from the binding. The book was not in the condition that was described.

The book arrived promptly- the only issue is that the binding didn't last. I don't blame the seller, I believe this was a publisher boo boo.

I was somehow forced to rate the book one star, because there is no possibility of rating it with none. However, and in second thoughts, this book *is* worth at least one star, because it will give you a mercyless insight to what some writers are capable of doing for the money.
