    Creature From Jekyll Island
    by G. Edward Griffin



    I'm more than half way through and I'm completely impressed by the insight of G. Edward Griffin. This is a must read book by Ron Paul revolutionaries and sound money supporters.

    It explains how the Federal Reserve was passed, how it works, and exactly why it is so dangerous to have a central bank like the Federal Reserve. It gets into the history of the bankers and how they've manipulated politics for hundreds of years and explains their future plans.

    This books creates a solid logical foundation for the Globalist Conspiracy taking over the world.

    I bought it a few weeks back. Just finished What Has Government Done to Our Money by Rothbard and now working on End of America, A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot by Wolf. So much to read....so little time.

    I must admit, I am a bit intimidated by the size of "The Creature"

    G. Edward Griffin is an excellent writer so time flies by. Just tackle it chapter by chapter.

    The great thing about the Creature is it has summaries on a whole topic that is about 10-20 pages long. If you're more interested in it, you can read the rest of the topic that shows you how Griffin came to his conclusions.

    It's a great book, also a good lender.. I've let like 3 people borrow it so far.

    Every chapter has a "wrap-up" at the end that makes the main points but eliminates the details. My grandmother gave me the book and told me to read the condensed material at the end of the chapters if I felt daunted by the book-- that's mostly what she did. I think you're better off reading the chapters and skipping the wrap-ups. Also there are tons of footnotes which take up lots of space.

    Having read Wolfe's book and Jekyll Island, I think you'll be much more satisfied and informed after reading Jekyll Island.

    I read it several years ago, and it's amazing how it reshapes your views of current events once you've read it.

    The Creature is alive and well.

    Conspiracy theories are completely valid as long as they are backed up with solid facts and sound information. G. Edward Griffin creates a very solid case for his conclusions.

    I own the book and have read about a hundred pages, but I have a lot of trouble "committing" to books and remembering to finish them. I wish G. Edward would make an audiobook version...then I would sail through it in no time!

    WOW!!! Thanks so much for sharing this!!! (You too, Torchbearer!)

    I've often admired Ed Griffin's video and audio presentations. The man's a fantastic orator. His video "An Idea Whose Time Has Come" is so good I must have watched it at least fifteen times.

    Thanks again!

    Yup! I read it...probably one of the greatest books I've ever read--it's very easy to read, incredibly informative, and really shows the "meat and potatoes" of how/why the Fed works the way it does, and the implications it has on society.

    Read it many years ago (early 90's). Loved it! Passed around several copies, still have a couple new ones saved for my kids...

    The book that changed my life...

    So much impact from one book!

    For those who have not yet read it:

    Start at any chapter you find appealing- GEG designed it that way.

    If you intend to sleep, do not read at night - very unsettling and at times downright scary.

    Do not lend your only copy, as you most likely will never see it again.


    The book's conclusion led me to the Liberty Dollar, and the rest is history.

    Once you finish "The Creature," and understand money, then you should obtain "World Without Cancer," and then GEG will help you understand the medical/pharmaceutical cabal.

    We need to start a project to send a copy of "Creature From Jekyll Island" to every Economics High school teacher and College professor. They can start educating their students.

    If anyone hasn't read the book I can't think of a better time to read it than now. It's just so relevant to understanding what's happening right now.

    Yes. This book by far should be in everyone's library.

    I read the book and it opened my eyes to the mechanism behind this fraudulent monetary system. I am baffled at how this book has not reached NY Times Best Seller status. Its been in print for years and has been translated to many languages. I have a feeling it has yet to reach its zenith in popularity.

    As trivial as it might sound, I think it needs a redesign of the cover which is totally horrendous with its stretched type and cheesy color scheme. More importantly it needs to be more concise and accessible to ordinary Americans.

    I read it about four years ago. It is one of the foundational pieces in my financial library ... along with Mises' "Theory of Money and Credit" and "Human Action".
