Veracohr Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 OK, so I'm replying to a more than 3-year old post, but just for the heck of it: I don't know who would list it under non-fiction, but it most definitely is fiction. James Redfield's books are fiction, but not really intended for entertainment. I think he sort of intended them to be modern-day allegories: fictional in content, but meant to convey relevant ideas. The first book meant a lot to me for a while, the second a little less so. "The Secret of Shambala" is the third book, and in my opinion jumped too far over the line of credibility. The first two put a little extraordinary content into an otherwise realistic setting, but 'Shambala' just dives completely into fantasy territory. I just got the fourth book, "The Twelfth Insight" today. I didn't even know it existed, or even would exist, I just happened to be at the book store for something else and saw it. I expect it to be at least as bad as 'Shambala', but for some reason I have to keep reading the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shpongled247 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yup First book is quite a good allegory of sorts. Second even is ok, but third and from thereafter is a bit on the silly side.. I bought copies for people of the first one I loved it so much at the time though. Some nice messages to be gained from it I felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
