It was a tough slog to read this book. I'm a budding Synchromystic and heard that this was one of THE books that needed to be read to truly understand the paradigm. What I found instead were a series of essays that seemed to loop in on themselves in New Age jargon combined with "coincidences." I know there are no real coincidences, but sometimes the conclusions drawn just didn't make sense to me.

Despite this, some of the essays were very well written but dull. Some of the essays were plain boring and uninteresting; the byproduct of an individual reveling in how clever they think they are. I may have to give this book another shot in the future; but I highly doubt that will occur any time soon.

The Sync Book is an assembly of different authors who come together to discuss the occult/esoteric concept of synchronicity. Whether one is new to the concept of synchronicity or not, The Sync Book is an excellent choice (in my opinion) for those both with or without any experience with the concept. The writing and quality of content is all there, and I found it to be an easy and interesting read. The main problem that I had with this book was all the self-promotion on the parts of the various authors; as I find such things to be in bad taste, not to mention that it tends to subtract from the overall quality of the piece for me as well. Some were better than others, but I felt that the promoting of blogs and social media contacts should have been contained to the authors' bio blurbs. My verdict on The Sync Book is that it is worth a read.

I had really high expectations going into this...that was my fault. I'm sure if it went into it with no expectations it would have been a much more enjoyable experience. With that said, this collection is a bit of a mixed bag. There are a few amazing chapters...and a few that I couldn't wait to be finished. Would have given it 3.5 stars if possible.

This is a must read book for those curious about how things in our world, universe, and other universes work. The many contributors to this book do an excellent job at going into easy to understand detail about the inner workings of sync in all aspects of our being.
