Newcomer's Guide to the Afterlife: On the Other Side Known Commonly As "The Little Book"

Summary: Read book description above. It's the best of the book
Review: Reading the back cover of the book, text that is given in the editorial reviews section above, you are reading the most clever, the funniest part of the book. The next best is the Introduction - coincidences, human interaction, human fraility. No need to read beyond that. The book is clever, making marvelous connections to real historical people. Unfortunately, the cleverness is useless when the clever premise and/or connection degrades into drivel ... often close but never successful, funny or perceptive. There's too much good and excellent literature to waste your time on this. Even if you wish to mindlessly kill time, you can easily find better mindless reading.

Summary: Huh?
Review: This is one book I simply didn't "get". I got the impression the authors were trying to be funny in a Monthy Python kind of way. If so, they failed miserably at it, in my opinion. If not, I haven't got the slightest idea what moved them and the publisher to put this book in print; I saw no redeeming value in this little publication whatsoever. That may say a lot more about me than about them, but, there it is.

Summary: A Slight Disappointment
Review: This was not at all a book at the level I expected of Quinn. It is not as magiacal as Ismael or the story of B. It is mildly clever, but probably not as witty as the authors intended (or think) it to be. In sum, i may have read the book with too high of expectations, Quinn being one of my favorite authors. Because of this, the book seemed disappointing, but i will give it five, adjusting for my (possibly) unfair expectations

Summary: A good Imagined Story
Review: To say this work was a disapppointment is not really fair. I purchased it with high expectations that it would supply me with insights and answers, but I did not get that. Instead, it allowed me to not believe everything I read of this type, take it with a 'grain of salt', and continue to seek my own guidance from within from my Higher Self. I felt that it was a good work of 'creative writing' and was not intended to clarify the afterlife, only allow us to form our own conclusions, and see a lighter side of the subject. To say that is was given as in a dream, and a whole book was down-loaded into his memory is a little preposterous; but many people may have believed this. I think the thing that truly bothered me the most is the grey, dark side feeling that the work portrayed. It projected a less than "Light and Love" vibration. There was no mention anywhere of spirituality or anything leaning to a higher awareness or Supreme Being. Nor was there mentioned that in the next level or density we further learn and grow spiritually to increase our vibrant frequency. All in all...a thought-provoking read, from two very good story-tellers. Perhaps next time they will have a Revelation to take it up another level.
