2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry to disagree, but ..., April 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Destiny: The True Story of One Man's Journey Through Life, Death, and Rebirth (Hardcover)
I have likewise read numerous serious works on reincarnation over a period of many years, and this unfortunately isn't one of them. The author may be perfectly sincere -- I frankly am not entirely sure even about that -- but the evidence he presents is very thin. There is a reason why his story was turned down by a British television network which thoroughly researched it (to be fair, the author does discuss this in detail). I gave this two stars because it is mildly interesting and certainly not worthless, but it is not in the same league as a serious work such as those of Dr. Ian Stevenson. The author is one of those individuals who purports to experience such a wide range of paranormal phenomena that you have to wonder whether he may be genuinely disturbed or perhaps embellishing his tale to boost sales. I see this as more for the Rosemary Altea fans than for serious students of the paranormal. Be forewarned as well that the reincarnation aspect is a fairly small portion of the book -- a great deal of time is spent on the author's job changes, personal problems and descriptions of various paranormal experiences. He comes across as very much of a whiner and an egotist, which caused me to question whether this book may be a way to gain the attention he thinks he deserves rather than an accurate account of his experiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars more to the author than the book addresses, November 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Destiny: The True Story of One Man's Journey Through Life, Death, and Rebirth (Hardcover)
Reading Martins book raised many question within me so I contacted him requesting more information. The extent of the information Martin provided was extensive and demonstrated that his book was only the introduction to his real story. Martins abilities that he begins to highlight in his book are minimal... his ability to demonstrate real life examples of what he has learnt are gobsmacking. I only wish the book had given more insight into his development of parapsychological abilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars an interesting read with many interpretations, November 1, 2000
This review is from: Destiny: The True Story of One Man's Journey Through Life, Death, and Rebirth (Hardcover)
Having read this book, and then the reviews I can only express the reservation that when reading this subject everyone has certain expectations of the content they wish to find. Martins story while not a unique account does strive to convey that his experience of rebirth was only the beginning. It may be a sub-conscious expression or rationalisation of his subjective experience, but whatever you decide it is, the core of his account is that accepting the imposed limitations of inexplicable life events can cause more psychoses than considering the alternative ways of surviving them. The realisation being that once you reject self or socially imposed limitations many more ways of accepting your life become possible. There is a feeling that the authors' tale extends beyond the pages of his book into an even less accepted area of parapsychology that may warrant another book. In all it is provocative and challenges your existing beliefs in a positive form and remember a publisher exerts their influence to sell copies.
