A must for understanding his writings
It was a bit hard to follow at first but soon got the hang of reading it. It was necessary to fully understand his works

Not worth reading
Before I purchased this book, I didn't know what to expect. Are there really clues that Ed.L. was trying to leave behind for us? Can this book give me the clues to them?Everyone admits that Ed.'s book isn't easy to read, due to the fact that English wasn't his first language. But what I find is that this decoding guide is a lot worse than Ed's book. At least I can follow Ed's instruction by re-reading the guide again. You basically can't follow this author, as he gives you solutions without any supports. And some parts of them can be quite ridiculous. He tells you to fold Ed's original pages in such a way that it will spell 'MAGNET' out of the phrase 'MAGNEttic currenT'. He could have asked us to fold the page between the two T's in 'Magnettic'. But since he wanted us to have something to think about, then why not?I will keep this review short, since I give up reading the rest of the book. If you enjoy reading tons of questions that the author doesn't plan to offer answers, please turn to page 2-4. If you also enjoy looking at tons of nonsense arrows, please turn to page 2-4 again. If you enjoy reading text in ALL CAPS, please turn to page 6-7. If you enjoy seeing images mirrored at the center, please turn to page 77-80, and 93-96. If you enjoy reading appendix, you have not been left out by this author. The last quarter of this book is all about references, including Morse Code, maps of Coral Castle, Greek alphabets, a drawing of a compass, naval bells, mirrored pictures, Golden Spiral, Golden Triangle, and maps of the nine planets.

Not a Prank but the Truth
I recently bought a copy of this "How To" book because of a stop I made at the Coral Castle while driving to the Florida Keys eight years ago.That was when I became more than just curious as to how a near ninety pound -- five foot tall Edward Leedskalnin raised and moved tons of rock without any help or modern equipment. With camera in hand I took over three rolls of pictures that day as I walked amidst the megalithic rocks it contained. I even bought all of Edward Leedskalnin's writings that were for sale in the Coral Castle store, but upon later reading Leedskalnin's writings, I became totally lost by his rambling prose and wondered why I ever bought them since they made no sense at all to me.When I came upon this "How To" book with its claim that Edward Leedskalnin encoded his secret in his works I couldn't pass it up. After reading it, I wondered if this "How To" book was just a prank or the truth. Did Edward Leedskalnin methodically hide his secret in his works for someone to find in the future, or did Leedskalnin instead take his secret to his grave?It was then that I decided to put this "How To" book through some tests to see if it was a prank or possibly the truth.I dug out all the pictures I took of the Coral Castle and to my surprise everything in this "How To" book was there. It wasn't the megalithic rocks that the book described but the symbols and subtle clues Edward Leedskalnin placed that anyone would easily overlook during a single roadside stop at his Coral Castle.I'm also no genius when it comes to deciphering code but being the skeptic I went the next step. I downloaded an enigma machine simulator of the type the book described and found again to my surprise that the examples in this "How To" book did in fact work as claimed.Another test, but not the last, was if I could replicate the picture that was described in the book's last chapter by mirroring the cover image of Edward Leedskalnin's book. This "How To" book was again accurate since the previously unseen skulls and crossed bones that this book described became clearly visible as with the eerie humanoid figure standing centered in an open gate.I will be the first to admit that this "How To" book is most controversial not only of the subject matter it contains but how it is presented. Starting off in a light hearted manner this book quickly becomes serious and then dark and mysterious as it implies to the reader that Edward Leedskalnin's secret is somehow tied in with that unknown realm that all mortals fear.This author is definitely no different than his unexpected description of Edward Leedskalnin as being a "sneaky little devil" himself. Although he identifies the tools to decode Edward Leedskalnin's works as well as taking you through specific examples of how to use them he holds back from telling you all that he undoubtedly knows or is possibly is allowed to disclose.This book seems to me akin to being taught how master a playground swing as a child. When you first start someone not only does all the work by pushing you along in the background but also chooses the speed and height you are taken. It is only when you decide to break away, choosing to learn and do the work on your own, do you become master of the swing to achieve the speed and height that your will dares. The author in turn seems to want the reader to make a conscious choice to start with what he gives and use their own free will if they wish to peer into the unknown to discover Edward Leedskalnin's prize.My tests have shown me that this fresh but controversial "How To" book is not a prank, more than just a tickle and definitely a keeper for my personal library. It is the only book I have found that has shed any new light on the mystery surrounding the individual known as Edward Leedskalnin.It has become more than clear to me that this author's claim that Edward Leedskalnin encoded his secret in his works for anyone willing to look for it is not just a possibility but the truth.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to uncover Edward Leedskalnin's secret. But, as the author warns the reader, and as I have since found, once you make the choice and start to uncover Edward Leedskalnin's prize you will definitely become hooked.

Buy if you think it will help.
I recommend buying this book if you can't make head or tales of Ed's book. But to me this book read kind of like the davinci code and I don't believe much in that synario with Ed Leedskalnins book to the extent the authors represented because nothing technical was revealed that wasn't obvious reading E.L book. Had I known that was what it was about I would not have bought it. I wanted a technical book written by a scientist that would reveal something I missed. I also agree that I might have missed the big picture of what the authors were trying to say but I wanted a technical reading book and this wasn't it. I also had a bit of a problem with the humor that went on and on. It could be a great book for you but it wasn't for me. This book to some might help. Reading Ed Leedskalnin's Magnetic Currents really is understandable if you read it carefully, write down notes, take it slow and realize Ed L. does not speak English well.
