THE CELESTINE PROPHECY

Is this book fiction or nonfiction? Those of us who staff reference desks often hear this question asked about Redfield's spiritual/adventure tale. The adventure is undoubtedly fiction; however, the prophesies (spiritual insights) in the tale are harder to classify. Jesse Corli's reading of this best-seller adds to the mystery. He reads in hushed, anticipatory tones, almost whispering the secrets of the prophesies. Dialogue makes up much of the narrative, and Corli handles it well. Voices of both genders and several cultures are clearly distinguishable. New Age music carefully placed throughout adds suspense to the adventure and authenticity to the prophesies.
