Randi's biography looks past the "mask" of Nostradamus with a critical look at some of his alleged prophecies. ReceptionNew Scientist wrote the book was a good biography exploring how people rewrite Nostradamus's predictions to give the illusion of fulfilled predictions.[1] The Skeptic's Dictionary cites Randi as debunking Nostradamus' claimed predictions of Adolf Hitler.[2]John Koontz wrote about the book that "Randi can provide a much more parsimonious explanation than any given by true believers in prophecy".[3]John Blanton explains that in the book Randi described prophecy's believers willingness to bend the meanings of words in favor of their claims about Nostradamus.[4] The book received an average of 3.82 out of 5 stars at Goodreads, from 138 readers' ratings.[5] Editions{{refimprove|date=June 2013}}
