I bought this book for $1.50
I think we can all agree that as December 21, 2012 looms closer the more we seem to hear about what will happen to the world. There was recently even a special on one of those cable channels like Discovery or History channels that was all about how to survive after an apocalypse (which seems weird to me since would that not imply that EVERYONE is dead?). I have seen opinions that range from how to properly stock your own underground bunker to why all of those people are crazy because the Aztec calender didn't factor in leap day.
"The Jaguar Prophecies" lands somewhere in the middle.
The book is about an archaeology professor who gets mistakenly asked to attend a Mayan festival in Mexico. While there she gets tricked/forced into the role of messenger to warn her people of the end of an age and the impending changes that will come with it.
I liked it. I hardly even put the book down once I started reading it.
This book was written as the writer's way of not only explaining, but warning all who read it about the changes that are she thinks will befall us in the near future.
Whether you believe in the whole 2012 deal or not, reading this book you have to agree that she has done her homework. It is very well researched, covering many different cultures and ideologies. And all while she tells a good story in the mean time.
I personally don't think the world will stop on December 21.
My thoughts on that are also probably best in a post of their own.
I would recommend this book to people who like to read up on the 2012 prophecies, historical fiction, or even fantasy (that's kind of on the outside though).
Pick it up - It's a good read.
