The Trap

In chapter one David Icke tells us “the world is not what people think it is or, more to the point, are told it is.” The idea that we live a totally false programmed existence is the exciting, provocative premise of The Trap, and I couldn’t wait to read it. Even more, Icke has the truly impressive, extraordinary super power of collecting and recounting massive amounts of worldly information. Unfortunately, Icke’s amazing talent is negated by his equally poor ability to edit and organize his material in a compelling, strategic way. Not every idea that enters Icke’s mind is worth sharing or publishing, and his long-winded intellectual rants overwhelm and bore the reader. Icke’s take home message is that there are secret global societies controlling the show. This may be true, or perhaps partially true, but I could never get on the same page with him. Instead, Icke kept losing me with TMI (too much information). By the time I got halfway thru The Trap I was wishing I hadn’t wasted my money on another book by Icke that I bought at the same time. Yes, he offers driblets of wisdom and insights that are worth reading/underlining, but it’s hard work and drudgery finding them. This book is not for the casual reader. It might appeal to folks with an appetite for an anti-woke conspiracy agenda. It didn’t appeal to me. PS, I got about 2/3rds through it and put the book down. Maybe there’s better stuff towards the end, but I’ll never know.

I listened to the book on audible and it was read by the author. There was a logical procession throughout. Evidence sited which makes it quite eye-opening. Personal experience helped one to connect with the author. Spiritual uplifting and awakening with light at the end of the tunnel.
