However I am a fan of the occult and unexplained phenomenon, so I gave it a shot. The book is entertaining; if only for the fact that her assertions about things like crop circles, the pyramids, and Atlantis are outlandish and fanciful. Her research is morbidly flawed, she sites several websites, and never bothers to site any credible references. It's important to note that the book has no bibliography. Many of her conclusions are a result of information received from her spirit guide Francine, and it occurred to me many times while reading this book that perhaps Sylvia should take what Francine has to say with a grain of salt. The book is rather light on content. She tackles several "secrets & mysteries", however only dedicates a few pages to each. Her chapter on alien abductions is barely three pages long. For someone really looking to delve into unexplained phenomenon, there are plenty of books out there which explore these things in much greater detail and with more credibility. But if the book happens to fall into your hands, you might as well read it. It's good for some chuckles. (Of course, it's not supposed to be funny.) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Para aquellos de nosotros que siempre hemos estado fascinados con lo inexplicable, o lo explicado inadecuadamente, los secretos y misterios de este mundo, Sylvia Browne ahora nos brinda su entendimiento profundo. A través de una combinación de información de Francine, su guía espiritual, así como de sus propios e increíbles poderes psíquicos, Sylvia amplia las informaciones científicas actuales para ofrecernos explicaciones detalladas de conceptos en apariencia inexplicables. Desde la Gran Pirámide hasta Stonehenge, Sylvia revela datos sorprendentes sobre algunos de los sitios más misteriosos del mundo. La verdad detrás de objetos polémicos y sagrados como el Manto Sagrado de Turín y el Santo Grial salen a la luz; y temas fascinantes y desconcertantes como los círculos de las cosechas, el Continente Perdido de la Atlántida, los ovnis, la Isla de Pascua y mucho más, son tratados y aclarados. Sylvia elimina las explicaciones oscuras y obsoletas que ocultan las verdades subyacentes sobre estos fascinantes temas. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

You either love Sylvia Browne or you think she's a flake. I enjoy her
books and think she's more right than wrong in her outlook on things,
but that's my personal opinion. This book makes for some interesting
reading, though, and includes research from several other sources.
Since I do a lot of research myself on such a wide variety of subjects,
I'd already read most of her sources, but it was interesting to see her
tie some of them together. Sometimes she states something in such a
logical way that uses insight that's passed right by me, but the more I
stop to think about it, the more I see her point.
What I find interesting is the things that she debunks (vampires, the
Loch Ness Monster, Sasquatch, demons, the Devil), versus the things she
upholds as true (crop circles, fairies, extraterrestrials, The Bermuda
Triangle, crystal skulls). I was introduced to some mysteries that I'd
never heard of before, but most of them I was quite familiar with.
I really enjoyed this book and it was quite a quick read. I'd give it a
3.5 but only because it wasn't long enough, didn't go into quite as much
detail as I wish it had, and didn't address nearly enough of the
mysteries of the world. But I suppose such an undertaking would be
enormous, wouldn't it? LOL ( )
