About this deal

Charles Francis Haanel was a noted American New Thought author and a businessman. He is best known for his contributions to the New Thought Movement through his book The Master Key System. The story touches on the 2006 and 1950s where student nurse Ellen Crosby starts working at Ambergate asylum. I suspect some readers will find it abstract and hippiish. But set it aside and think about every chapter. In addition to the Master Key System, Haanel wrote several other books including Mental Chemistry, published in 1922, The New Psychology, published in 1924, A Book about You, published in 1927, and The Amazing Secrets of the Yogi, co-authored with Victor Simon Perera and published in 1937. I recommend this course for anyone and everyone looking to make changes in their life by way of positive thinking and/or the laws of attraction.

I'm still doing some re-reading for my reading slump. This one made the list because as a teen, it blew my little mind: I'd legitimately never read an unreliable narrator before and didn't even know it was possible. The revelation that the first-person narrator had been deliberately misleading me (and everyone else) throughout the story was absolutely exhilarating. This is what I don't get: if the immortals are powerful why are they letting a bunch of teenagers join the war? I know they're "named" and all but since the immortals are the ones giving "gifts" shouldn't they have unlimited power? And with such, why couldn't they beat the dark side themselves? Wow! It was a common YA story at the beginning, but... The feelings! The tension! The suspicion shifting from one to another endlessly... The third book of the series is really great, even after all these years, even after I've read all those YA series... Definitely a 5 star book ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I tried not to get hung up on a couple of things - insta-love abounds in this one even more than the second book, and the big question of who the traitor is gets out of hand. I felt like the various suspicions, while creating suspense and drama, were also unrealistic and caused a lot of unnecessary grief. All they would have had to do was remember the actual prophecy to help them narrow the field... just saying. But I suppose you have to have a story, right? And it did keep me guessing. Ethan is my absolute favorite character, and he is the only one without a happy ending. Isabel and Arkarian will be together forever. Matt and Neriah will be together forever. Ethan will die alone. How is that not disgusting? After all he'd been through, it just isn't right for it to have worked out like that for him. Rochelle dying--no, not working for me. I read this along with the first 20 or 25 Alistair MacLean books, 50 years ago or so. Most of them I loved.

The alternating perspectives of Matt and Rochelle in this book were good, but nowhere near as entertaining as Ethan and Isabel in the first. Rochelle's however, gives us insight to the true innocence, if you will, of all of the character's she touches, and her feelings for Ethan. Matt's as well provides major insight, as we find out that he is an immortal, and he finally comes into his powers. I also think that the romance between him and Neriah was the most natural and beautiful of the series. You wouldn’t dare,’ I said contemptuously. ‘You’re not the type to pull triggers, Vyland. That’s why you employ this big hatchet-man here. Besides, who would fix up the bathyscaphe then?’ I wasn't attached to any of the new characters. I remember reading the first two books and I really liked Ethan and Isabel. I felt like the author did not effectively make an in depth characterization of Dillon, Neriah, Rochelle and Matt. I didn't Identify with Matt and Rochelle even though they were the main narrators of the book. One of THE most disappointing ends to a series. I was so bored skimming the last 40% of this and I'm glad it's over so I can read something else.Ethan: There's really not much you can do with Ethan in this last chapter. Maybe a conversation between him and Isabel or him and Matt and what he's feeling. It's written as you would expect of a book that's over 100 years old, it's English writing not common today. That's part of the beauty and mystery of the content. To truly get the meaning you have to be willing to work for it. And boy is it worth the effort. I seriously loved the Guardians of Time series, but the end of the Trilogy was a total let down and left me rather upset since there was a potential for the ending to be superb and impactful like the rest of the story was. I'd still read the whole series again someday but it'll take sometime to get over the unsatisfactory ending.

vietoje nerimavau, jog vėl naudojamas dažnai matytas scenarijus: kas vyksta dabartyve ir kas nutiko 50 metų anksčiau, kuris pripažinkim, tikrai dažnai naudojamas ir jau bepradedantis atsibosti. Tačiau šį kartą istoriją išgelbėjo tai, jog jos neina lygiagrečiai. Dabarties pasakojimas palyginus su praeitimi užima vos 30% knygos, tad abu pasakojimai nesimaišo tarpusavyje, kas man labai patiko! Įsijautusi į pasakojimą, visai nenorėjau jo pertraukinėti dabarties vaizdais.Kaip šių merginų gyvenimai persipina tarpusavyje aš nepasakosiu, bet kad jos bus susijusios, tai faktas. It's no wonder that after reading this book, Bill Gates dropped out of college and followed his dream via the methods outlined in this book. See what happens when one man understands the power of thought? One can literally change the world.
