This is a good book, and an interesting exploration into all things related to the concepts of destiny, fate, free will and choice, and how these can affect our lives.  
The book explores in varying detail: historical ideas and philosophical thinking about fate and free will; evolution; quantum physics; The Law of Attraction; the paranormal; DNA; astrology; and religious ideas about reincarnation.

It will not give you a definitive answer as to whether our lives are predetermined, or if we have a choice over what happens to us, but it introduces and explains many different beliefs, from religious to scientific and everything in between.  It also affirms the notion that most people believe in something in between i.e. that both destiny and choice play a part in our lives to a certain degree. I wasn’t sure whether all of the information in the book was accurate (for example, the lines shown on the hand when the author was describing palmistry did not correspond with the traditionally accepted palmistry lines), and some of the scientific/quantum physics explanations left me confused.  On the whole though, it is a fun and entertaining look at different ideas surrounding whether fate is responsible for what happens in our lives.  I also liked reading the true stories at the end of the book about how fate/destiny/free will had played a part in different people’s lives.

On the whole, the books seems well researched and contains a great deal of information on the subject that will help to inspire people who would like to look deeper into these concepts.
I like the author’s style of writing and her upbeat and humourous narrative helped to keep me interested.
There is definitely a lot of food for thought contained within the pages of this book and I would recommend it to anyone who has ever wondered whether our lives are controlled by a higher power, or whether we can steer our lives in any direction we choose.
