This is definitely one of the better books on the market concerning 2012. The author, Alexandra Bruce has a great writing style as she objectively explores the 2012 topic. She has interviewed a number of experts on the topic and the book covers a wide variety of theories and speculation on the 2012 end date.

The book covers ancient history and discusses the various legends of world ages across multiple cultures, not just the Maya. Each chapter is packed with information which at times, makes you want more detail but overall, this book can serve as an excellent reference guide for anyone that is wanting to explore the 2012 topic.

The biggest disappointment with this book is how the authors capitalize on the 2012 movement to sell a book that is just a collection of articles on a variety of subjects. However, there are a few good articles in the book which is why I give it a two out of five stars rather than a one. I do not recommend buying this book. If you’re in the bookstore, look through it first and read an article that stands out.

This is a somewhat interesting book. What I found most intriguing was the journey into the author’s psyche rather than the information on 2012 itself. There are numerous stories regarding drug induced altered states for spiritual purposes. Out of this comes some interesting observations and also some humorous tidbits. The author’s stories depict a man struggling with responsibility in life and pursing shamanistic methods for self-fulfillment. Throughout the book, it carries a tone of self-indulgent, intellectual babble that gets old but nonetheless, there are some decent highlights. I do not recommend starting with this book but if you have already read some books on 2012, it could be an interesting read. However, I do not find this a serious book on 2012 prophecy.

This is an excellent book that presents information in a clear, logical and easy to understand manner. It reads like a text book which is why it is easy to absorb the information. There are many high quality images throughout the book which adds to the value of the information presented. This is a great book to start the exploration of the 2012 topic.
