When I saw this book, I was a little leery to read it because as a Christian, I've been taught that "mystical" things are to be avoided (psychics, ghosts, etc). However, Bertoldi often mentions that she belives in God and that in her "readings," she asks for God's protection. That, plus the interesting title, caused me to read the book, and I am glad that I did!

For people who are unsure about the afterlife or the existence of God, in no way does Bertoldi preach or push her beliefs throughout the book. She even mentions that her husband is a nonbeliever. Rather, Bertoldi shares her experiences and the things that she has learned from the spiritual world.

Personally, I've never really been a believer in ghosts and aliens and things, but Bertoldi's work makes a really good case for a spiritual world that is near our own. It hasn't made me a hard-core believer in mediums and such, but it's at least opened my mind more, helped answer random questions that I've had about death, etc. It made me stop and question if I'm living a good life, and it helped pull my focus away from living an Earth-life to trying to live a life that is more fit for Heaven.

Very interesting book. I highly recommend it!

The title of this book, "Do Dead People Watch you Shower?" has been a question of mine so I bought the book to find out the answer. Unfortuately, according to the author, the answer is yes, dead people do watch us shower and watch us do everything else that we thought was private. This wasn't the answer that I wanted to hear but later in the book she presented information about two readings where she did not see any spirits around the two people she was giving readings to. I'm hoping that I might possibly fall into this category and if so, then my showers have been indeed private. LOL

The book is written in a question/answer format and she includes some questions where she says she really doesn't know the answers. I thought this was alittle strange as I would have expected and preferred her to only include the questions that she could answer and leave out any that she couldn't. Anyway, the book was very interesting.

I loved this book. I can't say that Concetta Bertoldi convinced me that life of the spirit continues beyond physical death because I was already a believer. But I loved Concetta's warmth and irreverence, and while a lot of her stories just confirmed what I already believed, there were also a LOT that made even a believer say, "Wow." One thing that stood out for me is nothing "paranormal" or "spiritual" at all - that was Concetta's advice for anyone who wants to be happier, just SMILE.

This is a wonderful book! The question and answer format is one that has long been needed for this kind of subject. Examples of two of the questions: "Are we still married to our spouses on the Other Side?" "How is it that the dead, in spirit form, can manipulate material objects on this side?" I had long wondered about the latter, and her answer made perfect sense to me.
Concetta does an excellent job of explaining the basics of the afterlife and reincarnation, in a gentle and fun way. I have long believed in what she says, but still enjoyed reading her answers. This is the perfect book to introduce someone to the Afterlife and reincarnation.

I enjoyed the question and answer format of the book. It made it a light read; however, in some answers she described the dead as individualike with the ability to see everything we do and in other answers she stated that we become part of one mass or unit. I hate to think that when I speak to my late husband I am actually speaking to one collective. Another contradiction was when the Other Side is described as only able to feel love, no emotions, judgement, anger or sadness .....They are no longer human and therefore don't need these things, but in another answer will tell you how They will hide your keys to be playful because They still have a sense of humor. Either They remain individualike and retain some humanlike qualities or They become one omniconcious blob... And why is it that a personal reading lasts about 10 minutes, because that's all the spirits can last, but they tend to be able to hang out in her hallway all night? I sound like a skeptic, but I am not. I do think Concetta has the ability, but perhaps just needs to clarify some things. I do believe there is an Other Side and I do believe there are special people who can contact this Side, but I also believe that 90% of people who say they have the ability actually do not.

This is a great book for those of you unfamiliar with mediums and exploring the other side of life and death and everything in between. I come from a catholic background so the skeptical side definetely exist in me. As I was taught growing up, when you die, if you are good you go to heaven, if you are bad you go to that other place. Well, I have to say that there is a place where our loved ones go and Concetta Bertoldi knows exactly how to bring them back to us, and she does this ever so cleverly. She puts everything into perspective without pushing her faith or spirit on you. She is clear and to the point with an easy to read question and answer book. She takes you deep into her world and you will find that you will not want to put the book down once you start reading it. I found it great because there is no beginning, and there is no end, and at times I found myself just reading the first entry I would open up to. This is purely reading without pressure; no characters to follow, no story to understand, just a fun filled journey to a place we are all curious about, but could never seem to quite understand. Her short stories are fun to read, her battles with her mother-in-law make you know she is just like the rest of us, and her wit and humor pop right out at you.

I have had the privilege of seeing Concetta do her thing in person and her audience is always captivated, her presence is immediately felt and her feel good personality puts you immediately at ease. She can bring a crowd to tears and moments later explode in laughter, as her charm takes over the stage, making you feel as if you have known this woman forever. The hope and love extended to you makes you see that Concetta is a real person and not just an act. This is someone who will make you think twice in what truly lies beyond the limits of this tiny world we live in. This all shines through in this book and you will have fun talking about it with your friends and family; I highly recommend.

while maintaining a light playful air about a subject that is far from whimiscal. Concetta is a rare find. Her accuracy and connection to the spirit life is uncanny. Her personality jumps right off the page. A must read for anyone remotely interested in the subject.

This book really is A MUST READ for anyone who is wondering about their loved ones who have passed on. It also made me less afraid of death. When she talks about her brother and his story I learned more than I thought I would about what the spirit continues to learn after leaving here. I wish that I had her ability... I think it's awesome! There is a reason she has this gift and I am thankful she shared all of her knowledge with us in this book.

Easy, quick read and a perfect book to pick up when you want to read a small chapter at a time. As many of the questions are interesting and fun, it lends itself to wanting to ask more serious and introspective questions of the spirits on the other side. I always wonder why people don't ask the more intelligent questions that could help us learn our real reality. If our dead friends and relatives cross over and now "know everything", why not ask them who killed JFK, or if there are really UFOs and aliens, or how reincarnation really works, i.e., what happens to us, step-by-step, after leaving the earth plane? Why not talk with some of the suicide bombers who kill themselves and many others, who think they are going to heaven to be with x-many virgins. I would love to get their reaction of what they actually discovered on the other side, and how they now feel about killing themselves and others. I wish people would ask mediums more intelligent questions. However, overall this book was fun and light reading, and interesting in itself.

I had the opportunity to meet Concetta last year and have a reading with her. She was a wonderful person and very much "on the money." There are alot of people who claim to be psychic and mediums but there are few who really are. If you truly believe this is a "must read" to answer alot of questions one may have. VERY INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!
