5.0 out of 5 stars The Best that Whitley Strieber Has to Offer!, August 31, 1998

By A Customer

This book is the most compelling book about Alien Encounters that I have ever read. It is a brutally honest account of one man's struggle for complete understanding of what is happening to him. I have been a critic of Strieber's more recent books. This, his second book of the Visitor Phenomenon, better captures his feelings while he still had an honest perception of them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clarifications only muddy the already darkened waters, June 2, 2000

By	Chadwick H. Saxelid "Bookworm" (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Whitley Strieber felt the compulsion to further explore the events he described in Communion and clear up some facts. He only makes the reader doubt him more. More hearsay and nothing truly concrete, unless you take the author's continual statements of truthfulness at face value. Will frustrate even the most forgiving of readers. I still found it interesting reading, but just barely.

This review is from: Transformation: The Breakthrough (Hardcover)

This is one of 3 of Mr Strieber's books that I had to turn to in my hour of need. I re-read two or three times in a row making comparisons. My main question was were the visitors really a threat or higher spiritual beings. They are the most terrifying books read when encountered for the first time thinking they could be evil. The heart is petrified. Every encounter is so overwhelming at first.

I had never heard of the Nine Knocks. Thank God that you knew the real meaning. That helped me so much! Thanks for writing about it!

The chapter on "Glimpses of a New World" blew my socks off. I had an experience like one that you mentioned. I had never told anyone and you are the first to describe it. Thank you! You gave me new insight into what it meant.

I enjoyed your mentioning of the little people. What a blessing from the Lord! I also didn't know about the Free Masons. I was so glad to hear that as my grandfather and uncle are in that society.

I find it very interesting that everything you mention is happening now in our life times. Wow! You have done such a great service to mankind!
There is no doubt in my mind that this bunch is good and that is such a great relief. So mote it be!

Highly recommended book and like always well written. Your books are adding up and taking us with you on a wonderful journey. Keep giving us more information. It is much appreciated and needed.
