As a big Sylvia Browne fan, I am very disappointed to give this book a low mark. I've read all her books and this one has all the same information. As much as I don't want to believe it, I'm starting to think maybe she IS only after making money. And she didn't even write this, her "Spirit Guide" wrote it from the Other Side. I don't know-

I truely don't believe she's fraudulent. She's helped so many. But I have caught her in a lie. On January 3, 2000, she appeared on Montel and when asked about celebrity couples who would stay together, she said Tom Cruise & Nicole Kidman would remain married. A year later, they divorced and Sylvia was back on Montel and said "I knew all along".

And how do you justify [the money] per question just to ask her spirit guide Francine, something? I do think she's for real but it makes me sad that ordinary people like me who can't afford a $700 reading are out of luck.

As a "fan" of Sylvia Browne's teachings I always look forward to her books. Though alot of information is repetitive from book to book, I've always walked away with something new. This book, however, though comforting and lovely, is more than repetitive. Told by Franince, it bears the exact same information as Life on the Other side and The Other side and back. Sorry to disappoint, but old "fans" if you've read the other books I mentioned, then you've read this one. For new fans, it is a must, compact knowledge in a paper back about this life and the after.

The other Reviewers are correct. There really isnt any new material in this book. It a collection of Topics covered in older books she has written. However it is very good for New readers since it covers the most important topics without going into so much detail as the other books. Its great to give a New reader the most important info without making them buy more than one book. I give the book three stars because its very neat, and the information is very good. But since its nothing new, and was not advertised as being a collection of older information I took off two stars. If your a returning reader who has read other books by Sylvia Browne you most likely wont get anything new from this so dont buy it unless its for a friend who has'nt read the other books.

for her books, too! She continues to use the same information over and over but just slaps a different title on it and, WHAM!, she has a new book. I used to love Sylvia Brown's works but now I'm getting a bit cynical about it. Is there nothing else to know? Is that all there is? Is there nothing new she can add? I've found paragraphs and even whole chapters in later books that have been reused word for word from an earlier book. When I've bought a new book hoping for new information and find entire chapters ripped off from a book I already own, I feel cheated, swindled and robbed. Also, all of her books get pumped out so fast and furious that I wonder about the care and quality of the information that went into them. I rate this as two stars because I feel the information is valuable. It's just too bad that old fans don't get anything new from it.

Whether or not you are a believer in Sylvia Browne's psychic/mediumistic abilities, or in "Francine" (her spirit guide, for those of you who have not read any of Sylvia's other Other Side books), you have to sit up & take note of the messages in this book. It is written in a Q&A format which I thought was very well-written. Personally, I adore Sylvia & I believe she (& Francine) are genuine but even if you disagree with that, "whoever" wrote these words is a very wise, advanced individual. Makes a lot of sense. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious about the Other Side or needs comfort or reassurance following the loss of a loved one.

I agree with "A reader from rhinebeck, ny, usa". I'm a new fan and was telling an old fan about the book and she knew what I was talking about, even though she never read it. The readings good though. Very interesting view on life and death. Only giving a 4 because I know she was just repeating her old work.

this book is a review of the past books. I have to agree with all of the reviews that I have read, there is truth in all of them. No doubt, Sylvia is great, but lately her books are starting to be redundant of each other. I do enjoy her newsletters though, have any of you subscribed to it? I guess sylvia is just trying to remind us, even if it is redundant, the messages that we need to remember, "take whatever applies to us and use it" and to remember to" Love"(aloha), THAT will save the human race .

aloha to all.

Before sylvia came in to my life I had no room in my life for any belief of god, angels, spirit guides, or the "other side." After reading this book and might I add all of her books I know believe in all of these things. This book is written for any believer or skeptic, either way in the end you will believe.

A skimpy(large type&wide margins) rehash of her previous books.I suppose it would be okay for someone new to Sylvia, but there are much better books out there such as Michael Newton's.

I found the messages this book attempted to convey indulgent, sexist, and to quote Francine chauvinistic. The idea of people being locked in a gender for an eternity seems to me a bit restrictive not to mention the rather earthly marriage rituals (waiting for the men to initiate the process of eternal union). I am not even going to go into the counsel of elders comprised of only male spirits. And tough luck for you introverts, obviously you have not evolved to the level of your extroverted counterparts. While I like to read intelligently written books about dimensions other than the one we live in, I found that even for a fantasy book this was lacking imagination. Perhaps Francine would do well to stick to her parties, it seems that they very much color her worldview. This book made me feel sad, angry and gullible for buying it. It was my first book from this author and needless to say my last.
