Summary: layered kicks , a carnival of sincerity- an ESP Candy store
Review: I knew I was going to dig this book; call it "intuition"! As a fan of anything leading edge- and trust me the world hasn't even scratched the surface of multi dimensional reality- I was hoping this book would give glimpses of things that I haven't yet been able to view first hand. I was not dissapointed ; I loved feeling just like I was right beside the author as she gives the reader a tour of her experiences. The psychic eccentric early family dynamics that gave birth to the current life are hysterical and poignant.I enjoyed seeing firsthand what certain pockets of experience were like in the sixties and seventies in NY city, downtown and on the Upper west side,in psychic dens, tarot readers lairs and spiritualists meetings. Most people will be left with with their mouths agape over some of the events that take place in the spiritualist community- objects that materialize out of thin air and are delivered via a horn!
The author is very sincere and open, revealing personal heartaches and doubts, the pain of being so receptive and wildly spiritually adventurous- LSD trips notwithstanding. Imagine having no filters to the despair that surrounds you at times- i.e. catching the eye of a man on the subway and seeing a mental picture of a murdered woman in a hotel room- knowing that he was the killer ,reading the headlines the next day confirming the story ...
We also get a whole lot of the authors organic journey and the maturation of herself into a bona fide psychic reader separate from the family shadow , cast from the Jupiterian Wizard that is her famous older brother... Really nothing is held back or hedged, it's rare to find this kind of honesty in a life tale; revealed in nuanced details. I just couldn't put the book down once I began, and that's always the highest praise.

Summary: A Fascinating Life
Review: I am typically not a fan of autobiographies, however Ms. Iacuzzo's story immediately pulled me in. At each page I found myself wanting to know more and more about her and found it very difficult to put down. Her voice definitely speaks through the text with an honesty and vulnerability that is refreshing and enlightening. Her life experiences coupled with her rare gifts reveal a fascinating existence...this is a story that definitely needed to be shared.

Summary: Pretty Amazing Story
Review: Talk about a page turner, whoa--fasten your seat belts before you start this one. Terry's life is pretty unusual to say the least. But Terry is very cool and writes with real honesty. She doesn't pull any punches and just gives you the inside story on growing up psychic--how wild is that? The stories are way out there--this is not your ordinary book. I've never read anything like it and definately came away a fan. I hope she writes a second one. I definately want to see "what happens next...".

Summary: An Extra Large Treat
Review: This is a truly wonderful book, an amazingly personal, open, and honest look at the life and family of an extremely gifted psychic. The author, the youngest of 3 psychic children born to psychic parents, traces the influences of her family and friends on her attempts to claim and assert her independence and self determination. She pulls no punches; this is a sometimes painful telling of her lifetime search for understanding and truth. The book is almost impossible to put down and engages you from the first page -- I read it in one extended sitting and was very sorry to see it end.

Summary: fastinating!
Review: This was a fantastic story! It was a rare opportunity to see into the life of someone so interesting. Even though her life is radically different from mine, her soul baring, honest story-telling style made it totally relatable. It took guts to share her history and I'm so grateful she did.
