Anyone read Secret Societies by Sylvia Brown?

I guess if you are really dying for a book to read that is mediocre at best, then this could be a great book for you. The major issue with the book is that it is a huge stretch in so many different ways and you really have to buy into everything that is Sylvia Brown to really appreciate it. She uses her spirit guide as justification for most everything in the book and I found it to be horribly unbelievable at times. Essentially my thought is that Sylvia wanted to write a book on this topic because it is popular right now, but she had no means of justifying it as a topic that she has any right to talk about in a academic manner. Rather than doing the serious research that other writers would do, she figured that her spirit guide would be more than enough to tell the tale. Overall, I guess you just have to believe in spirit guides in order to believe what she has to say or even be able to bite into the concepts that she presents. After hearing about the guides for so much of the book, I felt as if I was reading a complete work of fantasy. Recommended: No

I wouldn't put much stock in it. It sounds like another conspiricy theory book to me. If you do read it, take it with a grain of salt. These things are often very loosly supported theories that leave no clear answer either way. remember too, the author is trying to sell a book.
