5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the most disturbing book I have ever read., 1 Mar 2002
To say that I was a true believer in UFOs and Extra-terrestrial visitors would be an exaggeration and to say the exact opposite would be a false claim too, therefore, it was with a completely open state of mind that I approached Whitley Strieber's book.....and it was in exactly the same frame of mind that I finished the book! However, having said this, the fact that I was not truly convinced by Strieber's accounts by no means lessens the impact of the book as a whole. I found Communion to be one of the most disturbing, intriguing, shocking and incredible experiences I have ever been through as a reader. The author maintains an unflinching honesty throughout the book as he attempts to explain the disturbing events of three particular nights and it is this honesty, and his willingness to hold himself up to intense worldwide scrutiny, that has propelled this book into becoming the international bestseller that it deserves to be! It makes no difference whether you believe or not, it's what Strieber has to say that really matters here. Reading this book is a unique experience that will stay with you long after you have tucked it back into your bookshelf! One of the greatest books ever written in any genre!

4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing fare., 20 Oct 2002
No matter what you think, say or feel about the whole 'abduction experience', this book is worthy of attention.

It's not a big "Aliens are here and they've come to steal our cheese!" type of book, nor is it any king of attempt to scientifically analyse the UFO phenomena, blinding the reader with science and throwing in fact after fact about Roswell, the Philadelphia experiment and the Majestic Bureau (Although he does cover some of that material later in his novel, MAJESTIC).

What Communion does, is take a very personal and deeply psychological look at UFO encounters and 'abductions'. His stories are told from the point of view of a normal human, whose experiences cause concern for his own mental welfare and then the physical safety of his family.

His reliance on Hypnosis does raise some questions as to the authenticity, and later books come to question whether the encounters are extra-Terrestrial or some other kind of phenomena, which many detractors claimed was an admission that he was 'faking it'.

However he recounts many stories, some of which may ring familar bells in peoples memories. Strange stories from his childhood or recollections that he can't put his finger on. When I first started to read this book my younger sister (unaware that I had or was reading it) described a childhood memory that closely echoed a passage in the book.

If it's factual, then Streiber does as good a job as anyone could of stringing together events and trying to make sense of them. If it's fiction, he's done an equally remarkable job of bringing together common fears and mental imagery.

If you're a UFO 'enthusiast' or a heavy conspiracy theorist then don't look here. This is much more about the human condition than it is about little grey men. If your interest is more casual, or more personal then take a look. There's even a chance it may keep you awake at night for a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Communion provides insight about the unknown., 8 Jun 1998
By A Customer
As Whitley tells about his experiences with the unknown he can change a person's perspective of the world we live in. Whitley Streiber was an ordinary man. He is an author and enjoys spending time in his secluded cabin in upstate New York. One Christmas he was spending his vacation in his cabin with his wife and son. After a day of leisure Whitley retired to bed with his wife and woke up six hours later with his life forever changed. He soon discovers he had been taken during the night by mysterious visitors. Whitley sets off on a crusade to understand the vague relationship he's had through his life with the "visitors". As he searches through his subconsciousness for clues he begins to piece together an answer. An answer to who the visitors are, what they want, and who we are as humans. If you're looking for a new and exciting book like no other, Communion is your next book. Communion provides powerful insight and will touch on emotions like no other book. The way the book engulfs the mind won't let a person put it down. You decide if this page turner is fiction or non-fiction. Either way, It's a great book.
