Summary: If the Discovery Channel had a deep streak of paranoia...
Review: and no credibility, it would come pretty close to what this book attempts to pulls off and how it goes about it. Frissel presents a myriad of paranormal topics in an incomplete, cut-and-paste fashion. What's worse is many times, material presented on one page is contradicted only pages later. It makes suspect all the possibly credible facts, and after a while the whole thing just feels pointless. I was really disappointed. If any of you that are thinking about buying this book are truely interested is gaining a better understanding of yourself and your place in the world, buy a book of Rumi's poems. There is more meaning in one of his lines than in Frissell's whole book.

Summary: Material is better stated in the original Flower of Life Boo
Review: Bob Frissell is merely repeating what's all ready been said in Drunvalo Melchizedek's fascinating Flower of Life books. Why even bother writing this one unless it is to capitalize on the original? The diagrams and examples in "Nothing in This Book is True, But it's Exactly How Things Are," are even taken from Melchizedek's. How disappointing this was to me. This is like the condensed, extremely condensed, version of a superior work (confounding as it is!). In any case, there's lots of talk about secret societies, crop circles, aliens, ascended masters, the pyramids, Mars, etc., etc., etc. You can find information on this stuff in many, many other books as well. I find it intriguing that every book I read about these matters offers a different explanation. It appears that there are many different versions of "how things are" out there and I certainly cannot buy what the title of this book indicates; that the information given here is, in fact, "HOW THINGS ARE." Read this, certainly, for a bit of mind expansion or read it for a bit of fun (however, the sacred geometry does go a bit over the edge, as in The Flower of Life books). But don't take it too seriously. There are lots of other explanations as to who we are, why we're here, where we came from, where we are going, and who is walking among us. Who's right? Who's not right? Who is close to being right? It's all so complicated, isn't it? Yep.

Summary: mind expanding
Review: bob frissell is not going to give you the answers to all of life's questions in black and white. but the reason i really love this book is because it will open your eyes to the possibility that there is so much more to life than what you see on the surface. by no means do i agree with everything said, but it's a fascinating read-- it'll trip you out. for the experienced new age guru conspiracy theorist, this might be a little too "beginner" for you. but for anyone curious in delving into some of life's mysteries, the book hits a lot of subjects and will no doubt inspire you to head off on one of the tangents.

Summary: Interesting material
Review: Bob talks about UFOs and the Gray's. I read this book almost straight through in about 3 days. He presents good arguments for Extra terrestrial life and has a chapter on the Philadelphia Experiament. Also some good information on Nikola Tesla.

Summary: not mush
Review: i agree with a reader from minnesota ("new age mush") when he points out the 2 main faults of this book. the author doesn't back up what he says... where does he get his information? and he uses terminology without explaining it, so it's easy to become lost if you're not already well- schooled in new age ideas. however, i am a new age freak. some might call me gullible, but i can't believe all these stories can be out there, without there being something to them. the author does a great job of explaining (to my satisfaction) how pole shifts, consciousness,electromagnetics, alien abductions, crop circles, area 51, roswell, etc. are all tied together. maybe his explanations are inadequate from a reference standpoint, but it's possible that he did some investigation and just figured this stuff out in the only way that makes sense, which makes the title of the book all the more appropriate. read it and listen to your instincts. there's more to life than what is right in front of us.

Summary: New Age Mush
Review: I picked this book up expecting and wanting to read about some of the more extreme paranormal happenings going on in this world. Not necessarly planning on believing it or not. First, what this book does good: Every phenomenom and conspiracy and unexplaned event is tied together, making it an intersting concept. It also has an indept, yet confusing chapter on a new branch of geometery. Kind of cool even if you can't understand it. This book had great potential, but 2 major points ruined it. One, Where are his sources? He makes wild and intersting claims, but he gives no reason on why we should believe it is true. The major blunder in this book is the New Age Mush, terms are thrown out that are impossible to understand. For example, "The only difference between dimensional worlds is their wavelengths." What the hell is that suppose to mean?If your one of those new age freaks, you'll enjoy this book. This book is also somewhat intersting just for the topics a! nd interconnections, but there is much better stuff to be reading and learning with.

Summary: Nothing in this review is true . . .
Review: I read this book as a project in reading books I would disagree with and keeping an open mind throughout. It was easy with some books. With this book, all I could do is laugh. A microscopic device mentally elevated by a lucky person walking through Egypt who just happens to think about the greys. LOL. I'm sorry. I'm not that open minded; My brain is still intact. I found some sections interesting...just interesting, nothing more. Other sections, I couldn't swallow a grain of salt big enough to read them. All in all: an entertaining read worth the price of the book because it made me laugh. A lot!

Summary: Interesting
Review: I think 50% of people who read , is reading or plan to read this book references [rock band] Tool as an influence to it. Tool used some concepts of this book in their songs, which I think it resulted in a very interesting form of composing. Well, let's get to the point. Bob Frissell's "Nothing in this book is true" is a very complicated book to read at first time, at least it was for me: in fact, I think it was due to the fact that I didn't know what the fuzz was all about. It is a sort of explanation of various facts, doctrines, theories, etc. He tells secret information about UFO's, gives some notion about Sacred Geometry, teaches the positions to pursue on your meditations to reach higher dimensions and internal peace and a lot of things. Like it is said on the backcover, it is recommend for people who are tired of conventional explanations and seek for other to fulfill. In that case this book might be a really good owning. A very interesting read.

Summary: Quite amazing and interesting
Review: Straight up, this book is one of the most interesting things ive ever read... Bob Frissel seems like a very interesting person and all of it was very very good. There were some parts that were too far fetched such as how the human race was created... but the previous reviewer was wrong about a "microscopic ship being lifted into the sky." It is far fetched but what he says is "this ship was only a few atoms thick" a few thick, he never said how wide, but thats not the point. He covers a lot about ascended masters, christ consciousness, sacred geometry(which is interesting beyond beleif), the greys, the fourth dimension, everything... but the important thing when reading this is to keep an EXTREMELY open minded, because anything is possible... right?
