Interesting, but not a particularly easy read - Rated 
This book is full of interesting information, and cutting edge ideas based on new research into physics. However, I found it quite hard-going at times - the author's style isn't particularly readable. I often had to grit my teeth in determination just to make it to the end of a chapter - and unfortunately I gave up about two-thirds way through the book. I think this would be a great book in the hands of a more entertaining writer.
The Field on CD - Rated 
I opted to purchase the Field on CD and I loved every word! What was more for someone like me who knows little of Quantum Physics but am eager to understand it, I found that I understood the book (CD) completely.
As a Reiki healer used to receiving and sending distant healing I was thrilled to learn how this is achieved. The book impressed me so much that I am currently ordering extra copies for my family and friends. Everyone should know about this. It should be taught in schools and I hope in time that it will be so that positive thinking will heal our earth and all those who live on it both man and beast.
It didn't just change my life, it made sense of things I've pondered fr some time.
Thank you Lynne, you did a great job with this book, as well as with The Intention Experiment.
Informative - Rated
Lynne McTaggart gives a very detailed picturesc and journalistic coverage of these extremely interesting experiments. It does cover the same old subjects as some other books that are around at the moment but it is relatively unbiased and very clear about them. It is left entirely for the reader to decide what to make of the facts. What I make of it so far is that if 99.9% of the universe is made of 'dark matter' and 99.9% of matter is empty space, and all empty space is thoroughly ridden with 'virtual' particles, that arise from fluctuations in the 'zero-point energy field', only to anihilate each other almost immediately after coming into being, then what else could this 'dark matter' be, if not the combined mass of this unimagineably vast number of 'virtual' particles that exist temporarily everywhere all the time? It would explain why they've not found any yet. This book gives full details of experiments in psychokinesis, remote viewing, and precognition/premonition, and advice that anyone doing these experiments themselves can pick up on. The amount of research that has gone into this book makes it a real gem, even if you have already read other books on the same subject.
Nothing new - ignore the publisher's blurb! - Rated 
The biggest diasppointment in relation to this book is that there's almost nothing in it that hasn't already been covered [and in a rather more interesting style] by people such as Lyall Watson [from "Supernature" in 1973 through his later books in the 1980's]and Michael Talbot ["The Holographic Universe"]. Disappointing, not original, and pretentious to boot.
Compulsory Read All Parapsychologists! - Rated
It is immediately obvious to any but the most amateur parapsychologist that the issues dealt with by this volume are exceedingly complex, consisting of a large array both of syntactical components and of philosophical aspects. Each of these components and aspects are given due consideration in the course of this book resulting in a synergistic union of a variety of dichotomous concepts. The complexity of the topic at hand and the intricacy of the explanations are such that the casual student of the anomalous arts is able to parse the discussions more easily than would be the case if a greater degree of epistemological clarity and scientific accuracy were actually involved. In a mere manner of hours the level of understanding imparted to the untutored reader reaches a benchmark level which a career scientist would take decades to overcome. As the term "Psi" (Or as the author would phrase it "The Field") is traditionally used to demarcate processes or causation associated with cognitive or physiological activity that fall outside of conventional scientific boundaries, criticisms of this book based on current understandings of scientific reliability or validity are tenuous at best and downright wicked at worst! I would thoroughly recommend this book.
Furthermore, I found it very useful for swatting flies.
