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.

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. :)

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.

the passage entitled "warplanes over the americas" is just too ironic to be ironic.. it DIRECTLY relates to 911... you must get this book.. its sooo interesting

Quality information, great detail on one of the most amazing forseers in history.

Books crowing the 'successes' of Nostradamus' so-called predictions are invariably filled with alteration, misinterpretation, and wishful thinking--sort of like reading a fortune cookie or horoscope and retrofitting its message into ones' personal life. It's easy to take mysterious-sounding and confusingly-worded predictions and shoehorn them into some sort of future event. Liberal "reading" of the predictions (i.e. turning the syllables "pau-nay-oloron" into "Napoleon") can then make them sound incredibly accurate. Many poor researchers and Nostradamus apologists have done just this in feeble attempts to convince themselves and the world of the "accuracy" achieved by this legendary figure.

Nostradamus was not a seer, his predictions were not accurate, and only by the most amazing twists of logic and liberal "interpretation" of the quatrains can anyone suggest otherwise. Save your money, buy James Randi's _The Mask of Nostradamus_ instead, and learn something.
