I agree with the other reviewers -- the typos, punctuation errors, and "every" "other" "word" being "in" "quotes" is very annoying. (The reason is that the book is basically self-published, through iUniverse.com.) Some of the information is good, though so far it hasn't added anything to the Abraham material, which is by far a better read...

One thing I found to be a minus in Ms. James' book is the fact that the author says she "has always been open-minded, enthusiastic, optimistic." Okay, that's great, but optimists naturally have an easier time attracting what they want because they start out with positive vibrations; they don't have to overcome all the negative thinking that most of us seeking to learn how to manifest have to first learn to overcome. For me, this translated much like a rich person saying how easy it is to be rich when (s)he has never known what it is to be poor--perhaps of some value, but probably not to most who are reading the book.

Instead, I would recommend Sharon Warren's "Manifesting Your Heart's Desires." Although not the epitome of great writing, it does have great enthusiasm (if you can get past all the "yummy"s) and provides more solid information. Plus the magnets are not only a visual demonstration of Law of Attraction, but they're fun to play with! Also Lynn Grabhorn's "Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting."

Best of all, however, are the actual Abraham-Hicks materials themselves, as mentioned above. (And no, I don't get any kickbacks for recommending them...I just find the information very helpful.) The tapes are especially useful; I listen during my daily commute, whereas I might not otherwise find time to sit down and read.

Basically, I would sum up by saying this: how glad I am that I only checked out "Manifesting 101" at the public library.

I read a lot of metaphysics and physics and this book is good for the reader needing a simpler view of life. The Abraham Hicks material is very compelling and empowering. If you want deeper information of the whys, whats, etc. read Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot and go from there....Abraham has a lot of cool things to say, Holographic Universe will give you the willies because of the deep truths in the book. You decide. Warm and fuzzies=Abraham info, Heebie Jeebies and Deep Deep Truth=Holographic Universe.

If you can get past every other word being "in quotes", and lots and lots of typos, this book has some decent information within it (mostly from quotes and exercises taken from other printed material). It's a decent book, however. It would REALLY be worth it for the author to have a professional editor look it over, however.
