Amazon.com Review Bestselling psychic Sylvia Browne offers a detailed account of life in heaven in Life on the Other Side. Readers should be warned that it takes a huge leap of faith to follow this celebrity psychic across the chasm of doubt to the other side. In her opening chapters she explains that she is like the young boy in the movie The Sixth Sense--she sees dead people. When she was a child, these spirits came into her room at night and disappeared when a light went on. "To this day I can't sleep in a completely dark room, because the minute I try it the room starts filling up," she writes. "As a child, it was scary. As an adult, it's just annoying..."
Once she establishes her lengthy connections to life after death (including conversations with a spirit guide named Francine and her own near-death experience), Browne launches into life in the fourth dimension. In a chapter titled "After the Tunnel, Arriving on the Other Side," Browne explains that newcomers pass through a "hall of wisdom" and then review their most recent life through a "scanning machine." In the chapter "Beyond the Entrance," Brown claims that spirits live in whatever kind of home they've longed for, or they recreate a favorite home from earth. Plus, "the more spiritually advanced we become, the more physical beauty we're given, as a badge of our progress and hard work." Sex is known as "merging" and does not require birth control or any commitments of exclusivity. These kinds of glowing accounts of the other side cause skeptics to snicker, believers to feel comforted, and thousands of fans to keep on buying her books. --Gail Hudson

Very comfortingDecember 3, 2008 I've just lost my husband and daughter, and this book has given me great comfort. It's helpful to feel like you know what's going on with them on the other side. I just want to know that they are OK, and this book gave me that feeling.
Interesting, if hard to believeSeptember 27, 2008 It would be nice if all this stuff is true. But it's really hard to believe. However, even if it's all a fanciful fairy tale, it's still an entertaining vacation read.

I like and enjoy reading books of the spiritual nature. But this really was a joke. Started off ok but soon degenerated into the realms of fantasy.
Unfortunately, i didn't know who Sylvia Browne was at the time. But have since seen her on the Montel Williams show. I don't know whether she does have any psychic powers or not, but its clear shes making a lot of it up and just tells people what they want to here.
Just threw this book away in the end, not worthy of the space it takes up!
