Editorial Reviews

Review
"Allison is an engaging and inspirational young woman -- her gifts are exceptional and I count myself privileged both to work with her and to call her friend."

-- Kelsey Grammer, star of the hit TV series Frasier, executive producer of the NBC television series Medium

Product Description
Her visions have helped solve crimes; her instincts have helped find missing people.

She can predict future events and read your mind.

When she was six years old, Allison's deceased great-grandfather came to her with a message for her mother: "I am okay, I am still with you. Tell your mom there's no more pain." Allison shared his comforting words with her mother and thus began a lifetime of creating connections between loved ones and those they have lost.

In this stunning book, Allison shares fascinating stories of her encounters with people who have passed and her adventures as a profiler for various law enforcement organizations. With wit and compassion, Allison shows us what it is like to live with these special gifts and talents and also tells about her struggle to live a normal life as a devoted wife and mother. She shows how learning to accept her own gifts has helped her accept the unique gifts of others and how her compelling desire to relieve the pain of others has helped to define her own life, a life committed to the search for ultimate truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Couldn't Put it Down!, January 26, 2005

By	Sharlie I. Grier - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Don't Kiss Them Good-bye (Paperback)

I received this book three hours ago and have already finished. I simply could not put it down. I would say that this book is not geared to the skeptic. Allison doesn't exactly explain how she has these visions or what it is like seeing her deceased father-in-law and I think this is probably because it is not exactly something that she can put into words and if she could then those of us that can not experience such connections would not be able to fathom what it is like anyway.
She tells you her experiences and you can either take it or leave it, which is something I really enjoyed. It makes her seem even more genuine and very confident in herself and her abilities.
I think many of us have anxieties over death and the afterlife and this book helped me with some of those fears. Almost all of us have lost a loved one at some point or and this book helped to reassure me that my loved ones are still around. If only I could find a reputable medium in my area!
Thanks Allison for sharing your gift with us and for using it to better the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal, January 25, 2005

By	George Dalzell (LA, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Don't Kiss Them Good-bye (Paperback)

Get ready to enjoy this sensational book. It's not another "Medium Memoir," it's not the same old book about mediumship. The wait is over; Allison DuBois tells it like it is. She radiates confidence, the book is an easy read. An evidence-based research medium and profiler, I think Allison belongs to an exciting new breed of psychic medium. For those interested in this subject matter, this pageturner gets five stars. It's CSI CROSSING OVER, and then some.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting book, February 20, 2007

By	C. A CAVE (New Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have to agree with some others that Ms. DuBois is no writer; but neither has she ever pretended to be a writer. I find it absolutely charming that she writes exactly as she speaks, rather than trying to strike a false note. In fact, she never, ever strikes a false note--which is unusual. She is utterly sincere at all times. The book was an easy read, fresh, and always interesting.

She seems to have written the book by asking herself before each chapter, "Now, what do I want to communicate in this chapter?" Each chapter, then, illustrates a point, tells about a lesson she learned, reassures a young psychic, and so forth. I found the book fascinating in that it brings the reader into the world of a medium. This is what it's like," she seems to be saying. On a personal level, I found it reassuring for two reasons. First, while I'm not sharp like her, I've struggled with being "too sensitive" and the attendant difficulties. I was amazed to hear my early problems being described. I felt smacking my forehead and saying, "Oh! So THAT'S what was going on!" Secondly, she has managed to convince me that there is indeed an afterlife. The latter point is, after all, why she wrote a book called, "Don't Kiss Them Goodbye." I'm grateful to her for what she does--not just finding kids and tracking down killers, but also for helping to reassure so many people who are in pain after tragic losses. Thanks, Allison
