Interesting, if true...

Customer Rating:

I agree with the mixed opinions expressed by other reviewers for this book. Jim Marrs has performed a staggering amount of research to write this, and the first quarter of the book really does open your eyes as to the various groups of people that seem to represent the "highest power". Its interesting how Marrs makes constant links back to the same people (Rockefellers, Rothschilds etc).
Sadly though I found this book a difficult read. Toward the end of the book there are so many people and parties named that I found it confusing. Also, I don't believe the book presents 'the hidden history that connects the Trilateral Commisions, The Freemasons'. It merely states that certain people of considerable power happened to be part of these various organisations, but stops there.
Also, as the book progresses the claims get more and more spectacular, moving onto alien races ruling the Egyptians. We cannot verify the accuracy of all these tales for obvious reasons, so I began to wonder just how elaborate these theories could get before they became rediculous. I would be fantastic to think that aliens really did build the pyramids etc, but its hard to believe with the existing evidence we have based on ancient texts that may not even be interpretted correctly, if indeed genuine to begin with.
I liked this book because it provides strong evidence that there are a select group of individuals who make the world's major decisions and value their wealth and power over human life (creating wars for profit etc). I believe that these people may also hold the answers to other points made in the book about our alien origins. However, its unlikely we will really find out these truths any time soon, so I kind of took the subject matter with a pinch of salt...!

Beyond the Looking Glass

Customer Rating:

This book is a phenomenal read. Personally, I don't think everything in it holds water, but this kind of broad-spectrum investigative journalism is a rare thing in todays corporate media. Marrs manages to paint the picture, in broad strokes and in detail when possible, that it is INDEED possible to rule by secrecy. Why would anyone want to decieve the world like that? Look at the history of humanity abd you have your answer. This is after all a planet, were the "leader of the free world" is the grand-son of fascist who participated in a failed coup against Roosevelt ans was later condemned under the Trading with the Enemy Act (yes, Prescott Bush had close ties with Fritz Thyssen).

The wealth and power wielded by these groups will make think revolutionary thoughts.

Enjoy, but read with healthy sceptisism. This book is truly thought provoking.

Makes you wonder...

Customer Rating:

This book is incredible. Anyone can fire off accusations of corruption to governments, but Marrs has researched this incredibly thoroughly. I know that sounds incredibly patronising but that's how I see it.

The final chapter details the theory of the 12th planet returning to our solar system, which is explored in his earlier book "Alien Agenda". If you're into conspiracy theories and not afraid to open your mind up to the shocking truth then you should check both of these books out. You'll never be the same again.

Gripping...

Customer Rating:

One I started this book, I just couldn't put it down! It details everything for anyone wanting to delve into the world of secret societies and conspiracies, from the kennedy assassination to the crusades. I was thoroughly entertained all the way through, so why did I give this only 4 stars?

Because the last chapter is just plain silly. It details the creation of mankind based on Sumerian myths and legends, and the author presents this as if it happened. This is just one example of how the author only presents one side of the story, and doesn't ever seem to even begin to think or even consider that perhaps some of this might not be true, or that some of the people he quotes might be a bit barmey (David Ike!).

I recommend buying this book, simply because it is so fascinating.

The world is governed by many different personages.

Customer Rating:

Pure genius. This book is both interested me from start to finish, but it has also opened my mind to other things that are going on behind the scenes. The history of the Knights Templar, The priory of Sion, and the CFR are all looked at, some in more depth than others. This book is really worth reading, even if it’s just to find out how incestuous the ruling classes and leaders of the old world, and the new world were and are.
