 VERY POORLY WRITTEN/EDITED. May 30, 2008
11 out of 19 found this review helpful
One must work hard to find the few bits of "meat" in this non-linear book. The author jumps around, never develops the interesting parts, and seemingly, indulges in a free-floating dialogue with himself.
Very disappointing.
 Good Information May 30, 2008

The book is not heavy reading; most of it is fun and good diversion. But there was one part that was, at least I hope, good for my job. I work for an agency that has jurisdiction over some "Haunted" historical sites and we sometimes get calls from "Ghost hunters" who want to search. The chapter on how to tell a good ghost hunter from a fly-by-night was interesting. I saved that section to clipping and gave to my supervisor so if/when we decide to allow someone in for that purpose, we will at least know how to tell it they are reputable.
 Well worth reading May 29, 2008

Inspiring, thought provoking, motivating. This book makes you pause to evaluate your outlook on life here and now and your spiritual self.
 Don't waste your money! May 29, 2008

Don't waste your money on this book, I wish I hadn't. Van Praagh is merely in the business of making money. He can no more talk to ghosts, which don't even exist, than I can talk to stones. He hands out bland comfort made up from the wasteland of his own imagination. His sole purpose is to separate the grieving from their money. In this he is a master.
 James can't contact Mac users May 26, 2008

I haven't bought the book yet. I visited James' website and, apparently, although he can reach people from the other side, he still can't reach Mac users with a Safari web browser. I'm intrigued by his claims, but I'd be more inclined to buy his book if I could view his website first.
