5.0 out of 5 stars Magic Begins With Perception...., January 6, 2000

By 

Marni Farrant (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Let the Magic Begin (Mass Market Paperback)

It's been awhile since I've read Cathy Lee Crosby's book, but when I finished it I recommended it to friends "in need" and they loved it, too. I want to recommend it to you.

I've rated "Let the Magic Begin" with five stars because it is an inspiring story of a woman on a magical journey...if I had not believed that the events had happened as magically as they seemed to, perhaps I would have rated it lower, but I have seen the power of "coincidence" in my own life enough to know that there is no such thing! As Cathy clearly points out in the course of her story, perception is the key to the magic of life. First you must believe to make the magic work!

Read this book if you feel there is something undefinable missing in your life. Read it if you want to stop making the same mistakes over and over again. Absolutely read it if you feel you have an insurmountable problem. Read it if you'd like to become a healthier person...read it if you like people.... But most importantly, when you read it, Believe, and the believing will make it so.

3.0 out of 5 stars trite spirituality from the "Where is she now?" file, July 8, 2001

By A Customer

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Let the Magic Begin (Hardcover)

This book is mainly interesting to those who wonder "Whatever became of that star from TV's That's Incredible?" As this autobiography (of sorts) indicates, she hit rock bottom. Bankruptcy, sued by her former lover, career going nowhere.

She then tells us how she recovered through discovering a "spiritual path." Talked to shamans and such. Began eating health food from Trader Joe's. She includes recommended food at the back of the book, including brand names.

She drops lots of celebrity names to let us know how "connected" she is to Hollywood. She dishes no dirt on anyone. Nothing juicy in this book. This is no "tell all," but rather her calling card to get back in the business.

I was a fan of That's Incredible, so I bought the book. Reading it, I ended liking her more, and respecting her less. She seems a nice person, but real flakey. Typical Hollywood personality.

If you enjoyed That's Incredible, and wonder whatever became of its star, you may enjoy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real how-to guide to Happiness - the only true success., February 19, 1997

By A Customer

This review will also appear in the Success Express Journal: http://www.success.ie I sat down to read a few lines of the introduction on the same day I received the book. A few lines turned into 7 chapters... I was entranced. So many 'motivational' books are difficult to follow because they are so thick with theory. This book has been one of the easiest reads I have ever enjoyed. Each page seemed to hold a new realization for me, and was at the same time entertaining. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who can remember what it was like to play as a child. If you can remember what it was like to play for the sake of playing, and would like to learn how to do it again, READ THIS BOOK NOW.
