Amazon.com Review In this upbeat look at a world that isn't as far removed from us as we might think, Sylvia Browne answers the big questions we all ask at one point or another: "What are angels?" "What happens when we die?" and "What are ghosts?" While The Other Side and Back may pacify your curiosity about the spirit realm, it also offers a cure to the cynicism that plagues us every day. Surprisingly, this book feels much more personal than Browne's biographical Adventures of a Psychic, perhaps because of the conversational, first-person narrative that brings the spirit world down to earth without diminishing its uniqueness. --Brian Patterson

"Psychic, medium, clairvoyant, channel-these are all words to describe Sylvia Browne's unique powers. I've personally witnessed her bring closure to distraught families, help the police close cases, and open people's hearts to help them see the good within themselves."-Montel Williams
"The Other Side and Back is the most grounded and authentic 'entry to the other side' that I have ever read. You know immediately upon reading the first few pages that Sylvia Browne is more than a psychic-she is a master at conveying the truth that exists in the fourth dimension." -Caroline Myss, Ph.D., author of Anatomy of the Spirit
Take it with a grain of saltAugust 30, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For over 28 years I have read various books written by psychics and others related to the paranormal field. "The Other Side and Back" has to be one that I rank at the bottom end of the scale. Along with this book, I read "Book of Dreams" and find them totally at odds with what I have read in those other books. Either she is right and all the others wrong, or vice versa. Some of the things I find in conflict with other writers include: 1) Everyone on the "other side" is 30 years old. The majority of books I have read state that one is the age they want to be. 2) That the common language on the "other side" is Aramaic. I find that hard to swallow since the spirit has no vocal chords and it is commonly held that all communication is telepathic. Also why Aramaic? That is not even one of the earliest recorded languages. 3) Inhabitants of the "other side" have solid bodies like their earthly, physical conterparts. Again, all other sources state they are spritual bodies, some being small as points of light in their true state. 4) In reference to the "Dark Entities", she states that upon death they return to a new body without any rest or chance for a life review to learn the negatives and positives of the life. Again that conflicts with everything I have ever read about everyone having a review of their life and the chance for spirtual growth. She puts the "Dark Entities" in a continual revolving door with a small chance for any salvation. 5) The predictions at the end of the book have fallen short.
The bottom line all falls on the reader's belief system. If the things I mentioned fall within yours, then buy the book, if not, then think twice. This book and "Book of Dreams" both have an "aura" of the author having a lofty opinion of herself. This is the least humble psychic author I have come across.
One of the bestAugust 25, 2008 In my opinion, this is Sylvia Browne's best book. It really helped me to understand my life over here, and gave me something to look forward to when the end of my life comes. Because of this book I am no longer afraid to die. Sylvia gives the best description of heaven that I've ever read!

This is another book I bought for my son. I have actually owned this book for nine years. I have read it at least 5 times. I sent it to my son to help him with some issues he was having. This is an older book, but encompasses a great deal overall about life, death, the great beyond, life themes, Ufos', etc. I find myself referring back to this book on many occasions. I love Sylvia Browne's work and find a lot of inspiration in what she says. Much of it I already believed and it was nice to see I was not alone in my belief system. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is interested in the afterlife and why we are here.
