Summary: FINALLY SOMEONE WHOS NOT AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH!
Review: Actually im not lori im her son who bought this book and i have been having "crazy" experiances for about 4 months now.. I "used" to read Kryon channelings until i found out it was just another new age B.S. story filled with half truths and no actual "techniques" for raising selfawareness. Yes I hear voices Yes i see spirits off and on and let me tell you people something.... SELFAWARENESS IS LOVE! actually the breathing techniques were incredible and i'm definetly going to try them out! MERKABA'S... KRYON SAYS WE"D BURN UP IF WE CARRIED THOSE ON THE PYHSICAL PLANE!!! Thank you Bob Frissell... You'll be seeing me soon.

Summary: Just what I needed...
Review: I felt really compelled to write a review for this book, being that it has helped me so much and will continue to help anyone willing to read it. It changed me so much in fact that I find it hard to begin this review. One of the major things that stands out about it is it's factual approach to Christ. At the time that I read it, I did not even believe in God, but I believe that the staightforward manner in which this book was written had a lot to do with changing that. It is not written from a religious perspective. That in itself was VERY refreshing. Yet to the author it is common knowledge that God exists as well as His Son Jesus. Though these topics aren't addressed in the typical way, (i.e. preaching and sermonizing) I really began to understand how a God could very well exist and yet be tied into everything I've ever believed (aliens, reincarnation, immortality). What's sad is that the Church today see's many of these things as "New Age", the very reason I hail this book. Anyone interested in finding out the truth about the universe in which we live or the true nature of our souls will not be dissappointed with it. I especially recommend this book to any Christian who holds beliefs that are labeled New Age or are just plain seeking. Like I said, it is not written from a religious perspective, is a very easy read. Thank you to the powers that be for letting me write this review.

Summary: why all the anger at his books?
Review: I liked the book, I like all his books. My question is to all those who wrote such hate filled angry reviews. Why did you react so strongly to his ideas? I am a person of science and I liked some of his ideas. I did not notice any response to his ideas other than they hated them. I find that a very knee jerk response without actural data of why they found his ideas so harsh. Maybe some of the ideas stated were very uncomfortable for how they have been living their own lives.. I enjoy his ideas and find they add a new way of my looking at the problems in science with a new eye and open view.. I think this book is helpful to all for many different reasons. If it makes you angry it is obvioulsy the message of its content and the condition of your own spirit and life...

Summary: Astonishing
Review: I picked this book up only 2 days ago and I'm extremely glad I bought it. This book may seem very wild to some, but to me it's like a bible of life! It answered a lot of questions I had been asking myself for years and I really recommend others read this book as well. It's very interesting and fun to think about even if you don't believe any of it. It still gives you something to think about!

Summary: It's in the title...
Review: I really enjoyed this book. How shall I describe it? It's a guide book for those delving into a new sense of spirituality, particularly those that have already read a good amount of new age material and are familiar with such "strange" concepts as alien agendas, immortality, sacred geometry, etc. Frissell doesn't try to explain it all or ultimately prove anything, rather he jumbles his own experiences and accumulated knowledge into a book. He has a sense of humor about the subject as well. It matters not if you believe anything he has to say, just that you bring with you an open mind willing to accept the possibility that these things are true. Read with your heart, not just your mind. I wouldn't suggest this book for anyone looking for hardcore scientific knowledge on the subject of extraterrestrials. However, if you're feeling a little lost and willing to try something new, or maybe in need of a little support or guidance, give this book a go :)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Open your mind
Review: I'd like to thank Bob for being the first person to get me motivated to attempt to understand the mysteries of the universe. This book is riddled with paradox, truths and untruths. I cannot tell you which bits are what, simply because your interpretation is different to mine. I believe this is what Bob was trying to do with this book.

If you are to take this book and analyze it, you will more than likely find it a travesty to literature. Bobs ideas and views have no backing what-so-ever. He references things that a few other people are accredited to; the book doesn't really flow. Or even have an easily visible purpose.

Open your mind. Take this book as it feels. "Nothing in this book is true". Can you imagine yourself living in a multiple dimensional reality? Alien existence? Just because we can't prove these facts as `truth', doesn't mean that they are impossible. I urge you to disprove alien life.

The topics that Bob raises, for me, sparked something inside of me. I feel more alive now than ever. I'm reading so much about everything. I want more. Before reading this book I read pretty much nothing. Read it to be inspired, get yourself contemplating possibilities, if nothing else.

Summary: Two Questions
Review: If nothing is true in 'Nothing in This Book Is True', then what's the author's real name and how come I wasn't allowed to buy it for ten bucks less than the recommended retail price?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It's in the title...
Review: If you're looking for some cheap laughs, read this book. The other reviews have done well, but note: For Side-splitting vein-popping hysteria, get this book!
Especially if you get the tape, you can tap into its insane goodness at any time of the day: during breakfast, driving to work, with a glass of port after dinner, or during your usual sessions of ritual merkaba meditations, whippings and chants.
To believe this book you gotta believe a vast and intricate web of insane theories, spanning from aliens building the pyramids, atlantis, time-travelling....you see where we're heading.
Although maybe not as funny as authors like Spike Milligan, this book still rates highly as a highly amusing piece of trash. New-age mumbo-jumbo, Phooey! You're not thinking outside the box, you're just thinking in Frissel's box, and you LIKE it!
A great laugh, nix more than that.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A misguided work, or modern tall-tales..
Review: Most reviews of this book are slanted by opinions of the readers based solely on the material discussed by Frissell. From a strictly objective point of view, this book is honestly nonsense. Frissell reviews various 'hidden' aspects of human nature, without ever clearly explaining their purpose, or justifying them with some sort of reliable facts. Similarly, his theories of existence of multi-dimensional existance, and collective conciousness are simply stated, not explained or ratified. Not to mention his 'abridged history of mankind,' which lacks both belivability, and credibility, in that his only source is never properly cited (merely inferred as Drunvalo, see works by him).

But perhaps Frissell did not intend this to be an entirely serious work. If nothing else, perhaps Frissell can be applauded for writing one of the greatest travesties of modern literature. Simply look at the title, Frissell discounts his work before anyone even gets inside. So, this opens the work up to more interpretations. Without getting into them, however, I sincerely doubt this novel is really wtorth a lot of anayltical work. It severely lacks in credibility, and perhaps is best read for entertainment value, and to understand exactly what your far out friends mean by 'merkaba,' 'flower of life,' or 'rebirthing.'
