Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I couldn't finish it. It was boring and I had a hard time even reading the first few sections. I was hoping for a biographical read, but found instead "wisdom" on random things, channeled from the spirit of Rudolph Valentino. OracleOfCrows | Jul 2, 2013 |  Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Though a great wealth of practical advice and experiences, I found Valentino Speaks to be painfully dry and difficult to wade through. I was also put back by its premise of being written through a process known as automatic writing. I believe I am very open minded when it comes to spiritualism, but the idea that the long-dead Rudolph Valentino was able to command use of the author's pen and write his thoughts and opinions on such a myriad of topics is difficult for me to accept.Aside from the supposed way the book was written, some of the topics seemed a little ridiculous to me: bullfighting, clockwise, opera, and portals to name a few. The authors found plenty to say during vignettes such as these, but once I finished them, I felt like I didn't gain anything from them. I gave this book two of five stars for some pretty deep, thought-provoking vignettes, despite those that did not shine. I could barely finish this book and would not consider re-reading it, but I would recommend it to someone more into self-help, spiritualistic reads. (  ) StephaniePetty | Nov 10, 2011 | Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. Whether you believe that Wayne Hatford has been in contact with the essence of Rudolph Valentino or not, this book is a delightful read. Hatford asks us to "suspend belief" for a moment and read this book of vignettes given by the late, great Rudolf Valentino. Arranged in alphabetical order by the author, topics such as Life, Death, Love, Creativity, Free Will, Children, Beauty, and many other of the many things that comprise our lives. What permeates this book more than anything, is kindness, pure simple and unfiltered. Yes it has the obligatory sprinkling of new-age aphorisms, but in fact - I found it more in line with my readings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Wanderings of a Spiritist" in it's essence. There is an early 20th century feel to the wisdom found here. It is as easily digested in the 21st century as in the time of Valentino. Poetry, simple, and honest in its rhyme and meter - not great sonnets of Shakespeare, but conveying simple truths are peppered throughout the pages. A bit of seasoning in this wonderful stew of life thoughts. Chapters begin with short aphorisms more like the "Grooks" of Piet Hein than of a great screen actor. Thus we see the complexity of man. - Which man? Hatford or Valentino? Does it matter? A good read - suspend your belief - you will be pleased. (  ) difreda | Aug 21, 2011 | Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I enjoyed reading this book, but I was misled to believe from the cover that it is a biography of Valentino, it is not. It is a collection of reflections on various life topics written by the author with the help of Valentino's spirit through a process called channeling. While I liked the collection very much, the validity of such claim can only be vouched by the author himself, and it is up to the reader to believe. Overall a fascinating read.

When Rudolph Valentino was projected onto the silver screen, audiences rarely wondered what took place in between frames. They were too enamored with the action in front of their eyes. Now comes "Valentino Speaks" and a new image of the "Great Lover" that takes us into the spaces between life-times where what you will find is a brilliant display of thought. This is a book that challenges its readers to examine their views on any number of issues. And, with the spirit of Rudolph Valentino as your guide, you do so with elegance and grace, with neither confrontation nor conceit. Indeed, Valentino's observations on life propel you on a uniquely beautiful mind, heart, and soul expanding experience "Valentino Speaks" addresses 180 topics in a series of gem-like vignettes organized alphabetically by subject matter. They are all brief and very much to the point, ranging from the mundane to the esoteric to the spiritual and are presented with sparkling clarity. A veritable treasure trove of useful information, this project was penned by Wayne Hatford, acting as scribe. Also the author of "Letters from Janice: Correspondence with the Astral Plane," Hatford is no stranger to the art of channeling, and the cadence, language, and style of speaking in this tome, so clearly reminiscent of Valentino's voice in other writings, attest to his ability in that arena. As to the purpose of this work, Valentino, himself, says..."we are always in need of a little fine-tuning. That is what this book promotes, if one wishes to avail oneself of it. A sharpening of the senses, an uptick in awareness, an even better understanding of the beauty of soul, those are the attributes of Valentino Speaks." This book provides both a fascinating read and an enjoyable journey in consciousness. Start at A and proceed through to Z, or use it as a meditation, picking a page or topic at random each day. Whatever your method, you are about to embark on a remarkable voyage, exploring this world... and the next...in stellar company.
