5.0 out of 5 stars A different kind of psychic story, May 8, 2008

By	Tess Collins Ph.D. (San Francisco, CA. United States) - See all my reviews

What is unique about his book is that it is written by a writer who starts out as a true skeptic. James N. Frey doesn't pretend to have all the answers to the little understood gift of intuition or psychic mediumship, but he does render the bio in a way that lets the reader form their own opinion. His personal experiences with Annette are a standout, especially the story of his stepmother. Annette Martin is presented as a person, not an above-it-all guru who knows more than "us", and she is as honest about the personal costs of being psychic as she is steadfast about her goal of service.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Compelling Read, May 10, 2008

By	E. Barkley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am now halfway through "Gift of the White Light" - it is a compelling book, with author James Frey writing in a spare, direct manner about the life of Annette Martin. Annette is clearly a gifted psychic and it is fascinating to read how her life unfolds within the context of this gift. She has used her abilities to help countless people, and Frey discusses her considerable accomplishments in a straightforward and engaging way. I can't wait to finish it, and even at this midpoint, am planning on purchasing it as a gift for family and friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Biography that Reads Like a Good Novel, May 3, 2008

By	Patti Wilson "Caeer Guru" (Silicon Valley) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have known Annette Martin for over 20 years and have wittnessed her powerful psychic abilities. I was honestly skeptical if James Frey could really capture the magic of her life, and abilities with accuracy without making the book into a new agey, woo-woo read. He certainly succeeded on all counts. Gift of the White Light is a true, unembellished and totally engaging biography of an amazing psychic. But, Frey did more than write a great biography, he wrote a page-turner. I am reminded of the style of the late James Mitchener's historical novels that informed as well as entertained. Gift of the White Light captures the amazing true-life adventures of one of the nation's most renouned psychics. Nothing is left out, all the stories are there, from famous astronaut boyfriend to the faeries in Ireland and more. The next best thing to reading the book is getting a reading from Annette.
