Interesting but drags...January 10, 2007 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I'm really into Sitchin and his theories so this attracted me. But while interesting as all his stuff is, this is really a dull read. I can only take a few pages at a time.

It may look like fiction but it is not... I already had this treasure and I bought it for my friend (the yogi). He got addicted to Sitchin books. I'm grateful there is someone in the earth that knows very well Sumerian to translated for all of us and let us know the truth...
What a story...March 2, 2006 7 out of 10 found this review helpful
I was new to many the concepts presented in this book, but the story is so captivating I've been studying it ever since. The information presented contradicts much of what I learned growing up, and frankly the stories make more sense than the history I was taught. This book is alleged to be an actual translation from ancient tablets. The translation uses a passive voice which takes a little getting used to, but the content is so engaging you hardly notice. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and will read it again. I have bought 2 more Sitchin titles since.
A fanciful taleFebruary 19, 2006 8 out of 11 found this review helpful
What a disappointment this novel was. It lacked footnotes or referencing to back up Sitchin's "filling the gaps". I am a huge fan of Zecharia Sitchin and believe most of his original theories to be sound, but he went way too far with this one.
Much of what is written in this novel contradicts his previous writings. I just wish he had given some basis for his leaps in imagination. I was left wondering which portions were based on ancient texts and which were flights of fancy.
I would suggest buying a used edition.
Two Roads, One DestinationDecember 19, 2005 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
Sitchen and I have arrived at many of the conclusions, but we took vastly different paths in our research. In fact I had not read Sitchen until after my journey was done. It's intriguing that we traveled such diverse roads but agree to where the evidence points. Further, it's notable that both Sitchen and I have become firm believers in Christianity after our research. He writes like a true master, and conveys information that is of critical importance for all mankind, and for our future. This book should be on your shelf and in your heart as quickly as possible. It will alter your perceptions of mankind forever.
