Summary: an interesting story, but i haven't the stomach for it
Comment: When I purchased this book, I expected to read a trestise on the myth shrouded tale of a priest building a time machine and how the authors had delved deep into this issue to prove or disproveit, or maybe just offer facts to the general public. Instead, the tale was told, the authors speculated, then left the scope of the book entirely and gave mini-bios on half a dozen of other characters in some negligible way related to the subject of this book. Then, for no reason save for his own mortality, Father Ernetti dies and claims the whole story was false. Quite disappointing, even if it adds some credibility to the authors.
One of the more irritating aspects of this work, and this shows up in many semi-mystical texts, is the assumption that just because some squallid ancient race believed some crazy thing that, on the conceptual level at least, resembles some theory of modern science; that doesn't mean that they were right and that all of their "sutras" should be believed and their other theories should even be CONSIDERED as truth.
Perhaps these are merely the ramblings of a disgruntled customer, or perhaps some of its continuity was lost in translation. Either way, I would recommend picking this one up at your local library (they still exist!) but definitely not worth the money.

Summary: Important Correction
Comment: Mr. Dennis Daly's review of Father Ernetti's Chronovisor is misleading and incorrect in that surely it must refer, not to the English-language version of the book (which you have on sale here), but to the original German-language version (Dein Schicksal ist Vorherbestimmt, 1997). The German version devotes only two chapters exclusively to Father Ernetti and his time machine, which is one of the complaints Mr. Daly makes. The American version has 14 chapters devoted exclusively to Father Ernetti and his chronovisor, and all of the other 12 chapters bear directly on those 14 chapters. The German version is riddled with errors (the author even gets Father Ernetti's first name wrong), but the American publishers seem to have done all their own research and brought out a book so greatly expanded, revised and corrected over the original version that it really amounts to a whole new book. I strongly recommend this new American version. It is a fascinating and riveting account that seems to me to bring out all of the complex, subtle and elusive factors in this mind-blowing and completely original odyssey of Father Ernetti. I'm at a loss, though, to explain why 4 out of 5 readers backed up Mr. Daly in his harsh review. Why did they affix their approval to a review that so obviously distorts even the most basic facts of the book? Have they, too, read only the German version? It seems unlikely. But, if so, I strongly urge them--and everyone else--to read the American version.

Summary: Interesting for about a second
Comment: I first of heard of this book when I heard the author on a radio show talk and made the book sound interesting but after reading this book I wish I followed the advice of some of the reviewers and skipped this book. This book shows a whole lot of nothing of the so called chronovizor with a bunch of tid bit informaion making you think maybe a chronovizor is possible. '' what ever skip this book at all costs, a total waste of time.
