5.0 out of 5 stars An inspirational book, December 16, 1999

This review is from: What the Animals Tell Me : Developing Your Innate Telepathic Skills to Understand and Communicate With Your Pets (Paperback)

A terrific book for anyone interested in communicating with their pets telepathically. It contains several chapters that let you get to know exactly what interspecies communication is, it contains a chapter on how to communicate with your pets and another on how to communicate with wild animals. Inspirational, I read this book a year ago and I now talk fluently to my pets, other people's pets, zoo animals, sanctuary animals and wild animals. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in communicating telepathically with animals.

This review is from: What the Animals Tell Me : Developing Your Innate Telepathic Skills to Understand and Communicate With Your Pets (Paperback)

I am trying my best to make telepathic contact with animals. To that end, I have read over ten books on the subject, this being one of them. I had problems with this book right from the start.

My biggest complaint is that this is a book, like most that I've read, of interesting stories but very, very, little on how to actually do this yourself. I buy these books so that I can learn how to do this... yet of the 207 pages in this book, 10 are devoted to teaching us how to do this ourselves! Too little for my taste plus those 10 don't give any real concrete instructions.

But there were other things about this book that stuck in my throat. Fitzpatrick opens the book by telling us how, when she was a kid, animals would tell her the towns gossip (who was having an affair, who was beating his wife, etc.)which they knew by simply eavesdropping on us. Then, further along in the book, she tells us that if we go on vacation without telling our pets first, they won't understand where we are and get scared. Huh? Which is it? do they understand our thoughts and words when it comes to planning an affair but not for planning a vacation?

If that is not enough to make you save your money then there's this...the Discovery Channel did a show on Animal Telepathy. One segment was about this woman. A veterinarian gave her six photo's of six animals from the clinic whose ailments had been already been diagnosed. She was to communicate with them and find out what was wrong with them. She blew it. She missed six out of six, not even close.

If you want a book that tells you, in explicit detail, how to do this, with exercises and background material that explains why, then I'd get "Straight From the Horses Mouth" by Amelia Kinkade. Of the ten or so books on the subject that I've read, this is the only one that really and truly tells you the how's and why's of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating book!! A Must Read for all animal/bird lovers!!, October 22, 1998

This review is from: What the Animals Tell Me: Developing Your Innate Telepathic Skills to Understand and Communicate With Your Pets (Hardcover)

This book was well written with excellent examples of case histories and stories. I felt as if I was tagging along and heard all of these stories first hand. The co-authors did a great job explaining "how to communicate" with your animals on several pages. I followed the instructions and they have worked for me already. I am now able to receive mental visual pictures from my cat. Now I send my cat in the same format what I need or want from him. It does work and requires patience, faith and belief in this wonderful communication system. Thank you, dear Sonya, for having the courage to have your life story published. God bless you.
