OHHHHHH! This book has worked miracles on me. Honestly, I thought that I knew what a Psychic was , and that I was one! Now I know by reading this wonderfulbook that I am actually just a person with radiation poisoning coupled with insomnia. Isn’t that great! Well I’m off to practice my mind kata, please for the love of whatever god you worship, buy this product! PLEASE!

The name Sylvia Brown sounded vaguely familiar to me when a friend of mine told me about this book and borrowed it to me so that I could read it. She grew up in a non-religious household and seemed eager for something to believe, and so she enthusiastically recommended it to me. I suppose I fit comfortably into that category of people that “believers” classify as “skeptics,” and I am amazed by some of the reviews for this book that recommend it to all skeptics, saying that it will make a believer out of them. It will not.
If anything, it just strengthened my skepticism of this type of…belief system, if that’s what one could call it. My biggest gripe about Sylvia’s “religion” is that it tells gullible, grief-stricken people who have lost friends or relatives exactly what they want to hear. I don’t think I could have come up with a more appealing, happy-ending scenario for life and death if I tried. But believing that you got a new car for Christmas just because that’s what you really really wanted doesn’t make it true.
Other gripes: I got the impression that Sylvia is somewhat (if not very) self-important. If she can’t go and pick winning lottery numbers because you can’t use your “gift” for selfish reasons, why not donate the money to charity? How can the surface of the “other side” be three feet above our own (that’s why ghosts appear to float, of course) and infinite, whereas earth is of finite size? And what is with this whole New Age vibrational frequency thing anyway? What exactly is supposed to be vibrating?
If this is the best that the New Age religious/spiritual movement has to offer, I think I’ll look elsewhere.

I haven’t read this book and don’t really need to. I have had the destinct pleasure of knowing Ms. Browne long before she became famous. I spent time in her home and know firsthand that she is indeed carrying (I won’t say a God given) but I will say a given psychic ability. During this time in my life I was not a Christian but I had a lot of questions and curiosities. So I was intrigued by her. I am now a strong believer in God, Christ and heaven. And as much as I believe in the existence of God and goodness, I also believe in the existence of evil. I don’t believe that evil shows its face by hitting you over the head (you know that head spinning, earth opening up, Hollywood version of evil) but works its way slowly and convincingly into your soul. Even way back then, when I stood in her house, I knew there was something innately wrong at the root of the soul of this woman. She preaches about God and heaven, but you would have to be absolutely blind not to see that she worships only one God, and that God is the almighty dollar. You can continue to contribute to her empire and to her “church”, but I can honestly tell you that all she charges you for already exists in your heart. –This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

Detailed autobiography (though 3rd person) of the celebrity she thinks she is. If you can get through it – good luck!

One star is too much. I didn’t know much about Sylvia Browne before I read this book, but I now know all I want or need to. This book left a distinct bad taste. The first 60 pages were devoted to chronicling the young Sylvia’s social life and the succession of beaus that were supposedly in love with her, as well the various outfits she wore and how she styled her hair before going out on a date. Gifted or not, the whole book seemed boastful and conceited. Plus I really question the spirituality of a person that could dismiss her mother’s death as “no real loss” and refer to her ex-husband as “evil” and proceed to slander him at every turn. She constantly wanders off in her anecdotes focusing more on details of crimes rather than psychic ability. This is a vanity book. Save your money and find something else to read.
