http://bookmooch.com/m/inventory/libreria The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield was horrible but addicting because it was cheesy enough to taste like cardboard covered with frosting. Wow it made it into this thread twice already! Must be a popular bad book. Wondering if we could compile the thread and have a winner. hmmm
The Shack I am glad I read it. I agree that it is like The Celestine Prophecy in that each will take from it what they will. I thought CP was like Embraced by the Light by Betty J. Eadie. I felt that they were sort of kindergarten spirituality.
I am glad to see your review of The ... #106: I have never read Celestine Prophecy, but Da Vinci Code I did read. I never did understand what all the hoopla was about - the book was an OK read for me, but certainly not worthy of all that controversy.
#107: Thanks, RebeccaAnn. Glad you dropped by!
... You are amazing in your ability to generate discussion.
Message #106. I agree with you on both the Da Vinci Code and Celestine Prophecy. ... in order to discuss with them--the 2nd worse book I ever read, Da Vinci Code and the absolute worse book I ever read, Celestine Prophecy. Pope Joan is another one--but I avoided actually having to read it. I managed to find a synopsis and my friend didn't require an in depth discussion- ... ... ever'body...to be completely reasonable about this, books like The Shack (I shudder as I see the touchstone come up) or The Celestine Prophecy come into people's lives at the point they need to hear these concepts expressed or they inflict agonizing damage on the ocular units.
Room for ... >87 - Yes, I read The Celestine Prophecy back in the day. I'm leaning toward thinking it is one of those books that is what it is to each person. It just didn't do much for me, dear one. And, where was Mary anyway?

Forgot to add that I got three books in the mail today :-)
Celestine Prophecy on the recommendation of an SL friend, Beautiful Child by Torey Hayden on PBS's recommendation, and Scottish Folk and Fairy Tales, also on PBS's reco. Will check out Celestine prophecy. Thanks! Still reading The Time Traveler's Wife (I ended up reading The Celestine Prophecy and The Secret rather foolishly after I'd started it. So, I've just picked TTTW up again. It's a fantastic book so far and I've only just got to page 76, so loads more to come!
Also trying to read You Can H ... Hands down, no contest: The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield.
I hated it from the first paragraph, but kept reading it under the assumption it would get better as a person I very much respected at the time recommeded it so highly to me.

Lest I forget let's also include the author of The Celestine Prophecy, James Redfield, who needs to go back and repeat third grade grammar and spelling. His editor needs to be slapped.
... and a very good "book friend" both recommended it and I felt sort of obligated.
Da Vinci Code is right up there with Celestine Prophecy on my "worst ever" books list--not because of the stories but because of being very poorly written--Dan Brown assumes his readers are morons!

O my gosh! The Celestine Prophecy! I wasn't sure anything could ever reach that depth of drivel. (I was required to read it--book group selection--and the person who chose it didn't show up! Emabrassment probably.) The best thing about that book was it only took 2 hours to ... ... one and they were both selections for my book club for which I am a loyal reader.......Those two rank right up there with The Celestine Prophecy! Might I recommend Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and the Celestine Prophecy and its sequels. Both are amazing books and well worth reading, though definitely not by UU authors. The Celestine Prophecy and Tenth Insight, maybe? ... I'm on vacation after next week and I look forward to down time to read.
By the way, I agree with you regarding The Celestine Prophecy. It truly was a terrible book. I never could understand why it had a cult-like following. Friends told me I would love it...They were very wrong. 23. The Celestine prophecy by James Redfield #125>> MarzipanLady>> I think that Celestine Prophecy was there specifically to have cardboard characters and a proposterous plot. It was more promoting a way of thinking and dealing with events than convincing you to believe that that exact story is realistic. Magical realism and metaphor are ... ... and have decided that the books that promise to change my life or my way of thinking are not for me (The Alchemist, The Celestine Prophecy).

This approach has saved me from reading many of the truly awful titles listed here, including Da Vinci Code, Celestine Prophesy, Bonfire of the Vanities, etc.

Not ... ... how I came to own it - it has been on my bookshelf forever, but I'm just really looking at the cover. It's not another Celestine Prophecy, is it? The Celestine Prophecy! I'd forgotten about that piece of dreck. I read it on the recommendation of a pen pal - only later did I realize he was just as weird and boring as the book.
Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series is pretty bad too; I did read the first five, before giving up - it ... Oh I had forgotten Celestine Prophecy! I totally agree - it was so unbelievable I got really annoyed with the whole concept.

Also Conversations with God was interesting.
And then I can't forget the James Redfield books; The Celestine Prophecy in particular. In the same way there are very few books I passionately love, so are there few I really disliked. The Celestine Prophecy is by far the worst book I ever read, and the only book I've ever actually thrown away. More recently, Snow by Orhan Pamuk, which I DESPERATELY wanted to like.
