Amazon.com Review

If you wonder what fantastic events the next millennium might hold, projections by the legendary French seer Nostradamus may hold the answers. Nostradamus is reputed to have had prophetic visions for the years 1555 through 3797, and according to many interpretations several of these visions have come to pass. This colorful book is full of predictions "fulfilled" and guesses as to what's coming as we round the year 2000. Pictures of real-life events and interesting historical snatches make Nostradamus a worthwhile read for skeptics as well as believers. And if Nostradamus's seership doesn't intrigue you, his sense of humor will: When a pack of grave robbers pried open his coffin in the year 1700 anticipating the fabled treasures thought to accompany prophets to doomsday, they found him treasureless, but wearing a gold medallion with the letters MDCC, the Latin equivalent of 1700. A man capable of posthumous practical jokes is bound to make you laugh at the coming millennium, even as his predictions scare you. --Courtenay Kehn

This review is from: Nostradamus: Prophecies Fulfilled and Predictions for the Millennium and Beyond (Paperback)

I saw a TV show about 6 months ago on Nostradamus and was very interested in the whole idea that someone who lived so long ago could predict things so far into the future. This book brings to life his predictions and I strongly recommend it if you like a book thats extremely interesting and a little frightening. You can interpret how you like his "fulfilled" predictions, but whether you believe them or not, it is a book well worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Warplanes over the Americas, June 21, 2004

This review is from: Nostradamus: Prophecies Fulfilled and Predictions for the Millennium and Beyond (Paperback)

I am as skeptical of Nostradamus as anyone. I am not a believer in prophets or fortune tellers. I have also read the Mask of Nostradamus by the Amazing Randi.

I bought this bought out of curiousity. I find it a light read and not biased in that the author does state that some of Nostradamus' "prophecies" were vague.

But the one area as another reader pointed out that was way way too eerie to be believed is "Warplanes over the Americas"

One of the points that many people point out in discrediting Nostradamus is that no one even associated 9/11 before 9/11/01.

But in this book, the author takes a guess at what Nostradamus was saying. And he brings up New York City, "widespread" nuclear attack on the USA and then there is a picture of a burning building that could pass for the WTC (albeit there's only one building).

If you want to be creeped out, go read this part.

The rest of the book is very fluffy like reading an Olsen twins book. Not that I do of course. :)

This review is from: Nostradamus: Prophecies Fulfilled and Predictions for the Millennium and Beyond (Paperback)

I expected more information as to dates and specific predictions for the current time period. The book was very vague and seemed to be missing much. I would not suggest this book for reading.
