Had a look at the website, and it looks like a Harlequin novel for men: a young and beautiful woman (supposedly "discovered" by the author back in 1995), who lives naked in the Siberian wilderness with tamed bears and wolves, who has sex with the guy who wrote her book, and who gives him "incredible insights" on life, humans, spirituality, the Universe, etc., thanks to her fantastic psychic powers.
I went to check the book on Amazon and immediately went to the
negative reviews, most of which denounce the misogynistic overtone of the book, along with its "perverse take on sexuality" (paraphrasing here).
Another
reviewer (on Amazon uk) describes Anastasia's take on UFO's (emphasis mine):
"As just one example of some of the more laughable ideas in this book, Anastasia claims that
UFOs are merely some type of fungus, and that the inhabitants are (of course) less intelligent than humans. This must be hilarious to anyone who has actually studied the subject."
and:
"After all the hype surrounding this book, I was really looking forward to reading it, as Russia and spiritual matters are particular interests of mine. It seemed like a perfect combination. However,
Anastasia has succeeded in doing what I thought impossible - making most other New Age writings seem sensible and rational!
[…]
I also find
her insistence that the human race ("Man") is the highest creation of the universe and that no more intelligent life exists elsewhere, debatable to say the least. If that's the case, God help the universe!"
Yeah right…
This blogger wrote two interesting (and very funny) reviews of the thing:
