Book Reviews of The Gods of Eden
Book Review: a great approach by William Bramley
Summary: 4 Stars
William Bramley's approach is great, but some (some, not all) of the details are a bit misleading, specially the religious part of it when it comes to the chapters (chapter 7 "Jehovah"), (chapter 15 "Mohammed") and (chapter 16 "Messiahs and Means"). I am fully supporting his approach of understanding things, and I do find it totally brave. If he only updates himself or the book on these points, I believe that it'll be perfectBook Review: an unforgettable read!
Summary: 5 Stars
as a child i was taught about the lord and that i should just believe. i have been interested in alien life since i was a child as well. where this interest stems from i am not sure. this book has brought the two subjects together in an exciting, scarry and most interesting way. the history lessons were a bit boorish at times, but i always found myself wanting to read more. it is intriging that mr. bramley set out to write a book on the histories of war, but instead his research led him to his own personal truth about the history of mankind.Book Review: an unforgettable read!

Summary: 1 Stars
and not even entertaining as fiction. The basic premise, that humanity is in one way or another influenced by another sophisticated, if elusive, Intelligence, seems sound to me. And there is an abundance of circumstantial evidence for such an idea, (though I personally tend to veer away from the Spirit World explanation and ET explanation and am much more fascinated by the "Ultraterrestrial" theories of John Keel, among others.) But this book doesn't put forth any clear theory and follow through with it. It's as if the author was hoping that if he threw enough gunk on the wall, some of it might stick. All the reader gets, however, is a confusing gunked-up wall...Some pretty wild stuff gets thrown out, (for example, Jesus was fair-skinned and red-haired...?...), and most frustrating of all, almost NO substantiation for the claims being made, (the bibliography looks like the author went to nearest New Age bookstore, scooped up a handful of books from the bestseller shelf, and took his ideas from that...why do I get the feeling that's EXACTLY what happened?) And, last but not least, we are treated to the Masonic-Secret Society-Brotherhood theory of the Wooly-Boogers who supposedly are behind the scenes pulling all the strings, I guess at the behest of the Alien bad guys. Even if there was a shred of truth to this, and I mean this sincerely, who gives a flying leap? Most of us live quite well day-to-day, thank you, without the benefit of Big Brother, or Who/What-ever; so if a bunch of adolescent-minded Bilderbergers or what want to get together, practice their secret handshakes and other James Bond games, fine with me. Who cares? Premise is fascinating. But this book does nothing with it. Save your money.Book Review: conspiracy for profit
Summary: 1 Stars
Bramley is just as bad as sitchen with his outlandish interpretations. Sure, there is a conspiracy of sorts but Bramley's theories doesnt hit the mark. The whole talk of antiquity interpretation was laughable at best. The only conspirators on planet earth is the western governments! This book, and others like it shows that ppl like myself and others have too much time to be occupied with nonsense. Besides conspiracy or not just go for a personal goal no one with conspire against that.
