Very thorough work. Perhaps two references to disaster of September 11. Author's explanations clear and logical.

This book was rated very highly by other readers and I'm sure it is a 5 star book, that's why I left it that way in my review. My problem with the book was that (for me) it was hard to understand. If I wanted to look at what's headed our way, I'm not sure where to look in the book. I've read before somewhere that in the seventh month of 1999 there will be two suns in the sky. I wanted to read more about that, yet I couldn't find it. Maybe I bought the wrong book. Anyways, I don't want to say that it's a bad book but for me, I'm just learning about Nostradamas, it was a bit confusing.

This is an excellent book on Nostradamus. It is very thorough with the Centuries; however, it does not contain the Preface nor the Epistle. Cheetham has very interesting interpretations, though she does claim to be perplexed by quite a few quatrains herself! I think that her interpretations are honest. This is a good work to compare with Hogue and Germine among others. If you want to hear what Nostradamus has to say, this is one conversation you don't want to miss.

This is not a good book to pick up if you wish to learn about Nostradamus, or if you want to read some well-researched interpretations. Cheetham's interpretations are very often tenuous and inaccurate. Citing such examples from her book would be too tedious, and time-consuming. Try another book!

Michel de Nostredame is perhaps indeed one of the most undisputed 'psychics' ever known to man. His reputation as a defied prophet, mainly in our modern times, is made much likely due to the many false interpretations of self-professed 'interpreters' to his prophecies - that when time shows their fallacies, it is Nostradamus' name who suffered in the result.
Although not to the full extent of taking some high acclaim about her abilities to interpret Nostradamus' prophecies like the number of the other so-called interpreters -- Erika Cheetham is not too far being different from the number of these "Nostradamus experts"; her quatrain interpretations of Nostradamus' prophecies either lack accuracy or they miss out on some overlooked detail to further identify the intended meaning from Nostradamus' writings. Her commentaries on some of the verses interpreted are even at times self-confessionary in admitting to this.

THE MAN WHO SAW TOMORROW however, may be good enough to fill in for other books in the study of Nostradamus' works; the author, along with a biographical chapter found in the introduction to this book on the life of Nostradamus, have provided commentaries on some of the Century Quatrains, and is quite impressive with her notes for the portions pertaining to Hitler, Queen Catherine, and Napoleon. (I don't buy much of the stuff about the over-rated Kennedys though).
This book (which is the basis and companion to the film of the same title hosted by Orson Welles) contains all of Nostradamus' ten Century text writings with the authors' personal translations for each verse.

But if you would like to save some of your time, watch the movie instead.

I bought this book because it looked interesting, but have found in just the first few pages that it contained several typos that were wrong, i.e. stating Louis XVI was "The Sun King," when Louis XIV was instead. Otherwise, I find it a nice introduction to the work of Nostradamus. Just don't make it your only source about him.

It contains only Modern English version contexts!
U can fantasize and interpret it freely!
I recommend another similar type in paper printed one as below:

Nostradamus, His Works and Prophecies
by Michel Nostradamus, Theodore Garencieres (Translator)

Paperback: 180 pages
Publisher: Standard Publications, Inc.; ISBN: 0970978839; (May 2001)

An early edition of one of this author's books reveals the author to be way off in her interpretations. I would not trust her judgment.

I have read this book this year (1998) and read one thing that was said to come true by the year 1999 and that thing has already come true. This book discusses world war 3 which I found interesting. If I were you and I haven't read this book yet I would.
