Anyone with an interest in this subject will find this book absolutely fascinating. The descriptions and characteristics of walk-ins and soul exchanges are detailed and easily understood, but the case histories kept me riveted to the book. This book speaks to the soul and renews the realization that the universe has many different dimensions, life scenarios and plans. I loved this book!

This was the first book in 4yrs. that has emersed me! You'll will finish this book with some new spiritual insights of yourself, and those around you (if not, you weren't paying attention). This is a must read for anyone who believes in reincarnation. This will give you a whole NEW twist on life and its purpose(mine is highlighted throughout).

For the most part an interesting book, but severely in need of editing. There are numerous spelling ("cemetary," "short-sited," etc.), punctuation, and grammatical errors, as well as repetitiveness--Dr. Mitchell often begins a section "in medias res," then repeats that very same section again, word for word, on the next page. This leaves the reader jumping forward and backward in time with regard to the session being discussed, which is somewhat disorienting. Also, the strange use of odd fonts is quite distracting: on at least one occasion, the font changed in the middle of a sentence, switching from the rather flowery bold font (see "Look Inside" preview) to a regular Times Roman. Very jolting.

The stories themselves are fascinating, and I am glad to have been able to delve deeper into the world of Walk-Ins through reading them. It would have been helpful, however, to have such information---which would likely challenge most people's paradigms---presented in a more coherent manner. As it is, the writing style flips back and forth between fiction-like narrative, poetry/quotations, and layman-directed clinical observations. More confusing still was the absence of end quotes in many places, which left me re-reading passages trying to figure out who was speaking and when, as the speaker would often shift within the same sentence.

Also, aside from the list of questions on the back cover, there is little if any information provided on how to tell if you're a Walk-In. The majority of the book is devoted to the accounts of counseling sessions Dr. Mitchell conducted, so perhaps it is assumed one can glean the information from the various stories presented.

Overall, I would recommend reading this book for the underlying information, but check first to see if your local library has a copy before spending the money on it.

I believe in walk-ins and was looking forward to reading the book because I suspect a friend of mine to be a walkin. However, I just didn't care for this book. I was very disappointed. It just isn't very well written.

I also couldn't grasp how the photos of different locations related to each of the chapter. A cathedral in Paris? A statue in Bath? A library in Ephesus? The images/photos had no connection with the text or the content in each chapter. I wondered if the photos were "filler" to make the book bigger or maybe it was from someones past life regression? Anyway, it seemed out of place.

I also didn't care for comparisons to scriptures or religious interpretations, such as the blood of Jesus etc. I just couldn't connect with the different religious undertones and dogma. I just wasn't expecting that in this type of book.

I did enjoy the recorded regression sessions of her patients, however. It seemed that in these recorded sessions I was given the opportunity to come to my own interpretations and conclusions without some of her bias.

Prior to encountering Dr Mitchell's book, I was a 'Doubting Thomas' but having voraciously read it five times in as many months, I am now convinced of its powerfully liberating truth. As a further validation, I have actually experienced the phenomenon. Just after Christmas, 2006, while I was watching a re-run of 'Uncle Buck', I felt John Candy enter my core as a 'walk-in' (more of a wobble-in, really). He then grabbed the remote and asked for some popcorn. In the three months since taking up 'inner residence', he's eaten me out of house and home, used my credit card to purchase several 'marital aids' for my pastor's wife and run up a huge long-distance phone bill talking to John Belushi. I've given up trying to get the rent he still owes from February. In view of this distressing new dimension to my psychic perception, I'm seriously considering applying for a 'soul exchange'. I think Mahatma Gandhi would be a far more convivial, and much less demanding, entity of enlightenment.
