Summary: He Lost Me with This One
Comment: "Communion" changed my whole belief system. It was a brilliant, contemplative and credible account of events that may or may not have happened. "Transformation" was interesting but mostly a rehash with a new perspective. This book is where Streiber finally lost me. If he hadn't written this book, I may still be totally convinced by him. When he started this Communion business he was seemed very believably sane, that's what made his story so chilling. I suppose it's possible that it's all true. It' more likely that Streiber is finally losing his mind, maybe the visitors drove him insane, maybe he's simply delusional, or maybe it was a ruse from the beginning. Whatever the case, when I finshed this book, I realized that he had written one book too many on the subject...I didn't buy the next one. but I will read "Communion" again...with a different view of Streiber...and see how it plays now.

Summary: AWESOME
Comment: Thank GOD Whitley is a writer! I read the reviews before reading "Breakthrough." I almost did not read it. The people that gave it a bad rating most likely have not read many books of one author. Too bad the rating stars only go up to 5. If you have had contact, you can certainly relate to any of his books, especially the ones after "Communion." Now that I have found out that reading the bad reviews, can not tell you that the book is bad, why read them? Too bad we do not take an IQ test before writing a review.

Summary: Strieber takes the next step and stumbles.
Comment: Communion told the story of a man confronted with the unkown and struggling to make sense of it. Transformation continued the interior dialogue begun in Communion and, while it helped Mr. Strieber clear up some of his own jumbled memories, it offered his readers no new insights or evidence. Breakthrough: The Next Step however attempts to do just that, but Mr. Strieber's days of being taken seriously ended with this highly subjective attempt to understand just what the Visitors are trying to accomplish with himself and other abductees. Strieber makes a sloppy (and some what disturbing) argument that he is some kind of Chosen One, being granted visions to help enlighten others. The author clearly is attempting to move past being a simple abductee and reinvent himself as a kind of New Age guru. Not helping are the giant spiders in his bedroom and the little bald guys playing piggy-back with him in his New York office. Sadly, despite all the promises of hard evidence he makes, he just trots out the same old tired conspiracy theories and foggy rumors that everyone else does, and offers no concrete sources to fact check quoted statements or theories. In the end, the book is more interesting for its insight into Mr. Strieber's character than for its examination of the abduction phenomena. Best left to the obsessively curious.
