Nostradamus: Prophecies for America

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: I would not recommend this book to anyone, unless you are a member of a weird sect that worships David Ovason as a god. The main purpose of this book is to establish that David Ovason is a real modern erudite and to trash other people's work, especially the book written by Henry C. Roberts (I didn't read the book of this other person). The author repeatedly says that it is totally impossible to understand any of Nostradamus quatrains before the events happen and the book is limited to explain events related to the United States of America that happened a long time ago. Moreover, some of the explanations that Ovason proposes for those quatrains are not totally convincing. He is playing on the safe side, he doesn't attempt to interpret any unfulfilled quatrain, that way he will never be wrong. The only time he tries to say something related to the future is in the short chapter "The consequences of September 11, 2001" and his interpretation is probably too optimist and not supported by the rest of the quatrains that he cautiously avoid interpreting. In general, this book doesn't introduce any new element relevant to our times. I was 11 or 12 years old the first time I heard about Nostradamus. I clearly remember somebody predicting the disaster 9/11 in the 80's. However, after 9/11 Ovason was asked if there were any quatrains predicting this sad day and his first answer was "NO" (we all now that is not true). If you want to read a much better book that interprets unfulfilled quatrains, I recommend "Nostradamus World War III 2002" by David S. Montaigne. Montaigne takes a chance and presents an interesting theory about unfulfilled quatrains.
