Summary: Sylvia browne is a legitimate psychic whose book was great
Review: The other side and back was the first Sylvia Browne book I ever read. I was extrememly impressed, and of course skeptical when I first started reading it. When I read the other online reviews
( the negative ones), I was amazed at the comments. Sylvia Browne has been on many shows, Larry King live, Montel, among others. Her gift has been proven, and she has worked on many police cases when their searches run out of leads (and she doesn't take money, or want money in any of those cases either). Her books, whether anyone believes them or not, only sheds truth about what life is about. She says to take what you want from the book, and leave the rest behind. In this day and age, where some religion teaches taught that you will go to hell if you don't believe, I think it is refreshing that we can have another perspective on things. And I think that's what scares people the most. The fact that there are legitmate psychic's out there who do have a unique gift from god, that don't promote the idea of sin or fear or hell. They are only trying to tell you not to live in guilt, to live in joy and happiness. But of course, be mindful of your actions. We are resposible for ourselves. She teaches to try to understand why the world is the way it is, the pain, the misery, why it gets so hard. That's what I learned from this book. I have an illness, and it's not easy. This book was extrememly enlightening, and like she says, take what you want, leave the rest. She is not trying to push it down your throat. She also gives predictions, and again, psychics aren't 100%, they aren't god, but good ones, are pretty accurate. She has an accuracy way above 70%. Also, psychic's timing of thier predictions can be off as I have read. So for the other comment, about why didn't she mention Iraq, and so forth. She actually predicted 9/11, but she was off about the timing. She predicted it, as I recall, for 1999, but of course we all know it happened in 2001. Predictions change, b/c we change things when we make a different choice, or so I believe. She does have a newsletter, that releases predictions, and on Montel, they talk about future predictions as well. In case anyone would like to check it out.
But for her book, the Other side and back, it was the best book for me to start with, and I think it would be for anyone as well too. It gave me some answers with my constant battling of health problems. Also, I was lucky to find a legitimate psychic in my city, who believes in Sylvia, who had the same philosophy as hers, but who knew things about me that no one could of knew. I was amazed at his gift. He was 20, only knew my first name, and knew things like my illness, surgeries, siblings, etc. So beleive me, psychics exist. Thanks.

Summary: Awesome read, I'm Hooked!
Review: This book has totally changed my outlook on life and death for the better! I no longer fear death and have a more positive attitude towards life. Sylvia is inspiring and her content is easy to follow and makes sense. I found her to be very interesting and intriguing. I really enjoyed this book, it was hard to put down. I have not been much of a reader in the past but I am now! I am reading another one of her books and plan on buying a couple more.

Summary: Sylvia needs a new Spirit Guide
Review: Though I'm not entirely sold on spiritualism, I read this book out of interest. I agree or don't argue with much of what she had to say, but had to contest some of her beliefs with a wide smirk, such as her notion that everybody on The Other Side is 30 years old (as told to her by her Spirit Guide, Francine). And although Browne admits to not being entirely accurate with her predictions, I think only one or two out of the several forecasts she made for 2000 came close to being true. However, it was nonetheless an interesting read, worthy of discussion.
