Cindy Sheehan, Book Reviewer -- A Theme?
Sweetness & Light ^ | August 27, 2005 | N/A

Posted on 08/26/2005 10:27:44 PM PDT by Sam Hill

I'm not quite sure what to make of Cindy's two day stint as an Amazon book reviewer, except that it shows she is... a mite different:

RESURRECTED

Resurrected: Tangible Evidence That Jesus Rose from the Dead by Gilbert R., Md. Lavoie

This book took me an hour to read, June 14, 2001

Loved it and I thought the proofs were very compelling. I went in believing that the shroud was of Jesus of Nazareth and now I believe it even more strongly.

Read this book if you are a skeptic or true believer!!!

Here are two other reviews Mother Sheehan did for Amazon:

The Hole in the Universe: How Scientists Peered over the Edge of Emptiness and Found Everything by K. C. Cole

WOWZER, June 15, 2001

I found this book amazingly easy and fascinating. The author explains "Nothing" quite compellingly.

This book went from "zero", to black holes, to vacua, to quarks, matter and anti-matter......my head was spinning. Sometimes the ideas were so huge, I would have to put the book down for a week before I could take it anymore.

After reading this book my interest in cosmology and quantum physics has quadrupled and I am now reading Stephen Hawkings A Brief History of Time and I am understanding it and enjoying it.

For those of you who never really understood: E=MC(squared) I highly recommend KC Coles fine book.

Galileo's Daughter : A Historical Memoir of Science, Faith, and Love by Dava Sobel

Best book I have read in a long time, June 14, 2001

I read the book during Lent this year. I have admired Gallileo for a long time and I was happy when the church finally pardoned him and admitted that he was right (400 years later).

The book was one of the best books I have read in a long time. I laughed and cried. I didn't expect his daughter to pass away before him. And I cried when she was found buried beneath him. What a pure love story!!

Since I have a love/hate relationship with the Catholic Church (I am a church employee), I found Gallileo's struggles compelling and all to familiar for our day and age.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone!!!

A little weird, n'est ce-pas? The morbid streak. Her love/hate relationship with the Catholic Church, which is (or was) her employer.

Notice that even after reading a book about him, Cindy still can't spell Galileo.

Probably the next time we see Cindy's name at Amazon, it will be appended to a runaway best-seller chronicling her brilliant career as a grieving mother.

Her interests strike me as a little morbid.

Bush's fault.

Some psychological background on Mother Sheehan.

I haven't read Galileo's Daughter, but I can't help wonder if there aren't some parallels--or maybe even inspiration.

Sam, I doubt that sheean read those books or wrote those reviews ~ she is being managed by a PR firm and my guess is that these "reviews" were planned to help 'flesh out' an image of sheehan that makes her less insane than her interviews and on camera appearances would indicate.

If her PR folks can't recreate her in a different (more sane image) she will lose all value to them.....which she is swiftly doing!

To see a bunch of great "support the troops" images (and a couple of shots at sheehan) check out this post
Images to use for "You Don't Speak For Me, Cindy" (warning ~ lots of graphics)

Wow. As I was reading her reviews, I thought to myself "Her soul is wandering. She's lost" Then I got to this. She's searching.
Her and the aging hippies at Crawford will forever be searching to fill an emptiness they can never fill. They keep looking in the wrong places. They think everything that happens to them is everyone else's fault. They don't realize they are an accumulation of every thought they've ever had their entire lives. They'll find their answers from within, but they're scared to look there. They're afraid of what they'll find.

Cindy wrote these reviews back in June 2001. Before she was famous. Even before she had a cause.

Thanks, She definitely doesn't appreciate what we stand for. She dishonors the noble service of her heroic son, Casey Sheehan, when she declares in public that "This Country is not worth dying for"

As much as I despise "Ditch Witch" Cindy Sheehan and the Puppet Masters of the DNC that pull her strings, I will go to my grave with the utmost respect for the last full measure of devotion her son Casey gave while defending our Nation in this War on Radical Islam.

God Bless all of our Warriors, we must support them and their mission to spread the Liberty people like Cindy Sheehan doesn't appreciate

Casey Sheehan is a Hero, Cindy Sheehan is a Zero

I was expecting a lot worse considering she is a nutcase. She writes like a 12 year old, but that's about all I get from this.

I think she did. She's searching for something to save her from herself. She's not happy in this realm. She's trying to figure out the other side.
Those books are not hard to read. I was curious about what black holes were, and I had that book. It was Ok, but it didn't go into the depth I thought it would. I later donated it to the thrift store.
After the anti-Israel gravy train comes to the end of the road, she should be put on a suicide watch. She will try to take her life. She may even be jealous of Casey. I have no doubt she tries to ask him questions at night, and that's why she says he's talking to her and she's seeing angels.

I guess it wasn't so easy and facinating then, was it...

Perhaps Cindy can find time to read a book with a happy ending...
