Wow, you are probably the first reviewer I’ve read who actually read the entire book… and paid attention. It was certainly an interesting and, at times, entertaining read from a very *CONFLICTED* man. It often felt like two people were writing the book. (Nice review, yo!)

In reply to litlove.

I think exactly what you said about his thinking he’s on the side of the angels. It’s clear nonsense.

I love your tarot card disclosure! That’s a good way of saying it.

Oh what a shame, because I would have been so interested in a memoir that really did explore the inherent conflicts in the psychic business. I guess he thinks that the very act of making such so-called ‘revelations’ puts him on the side of the angels (and I expect he’d like that to be literal). But what an odd mentality he must have to judge others so differently to the way he judges himself! I love your tarot card warning. I always say two things: 1) the cards won’t tell you anything you don’t know already and 2) the designated ‘future’ cards indicate the likeliest outcome if nothing changes. You can take your future into your own hands at any point. It really does matter how you approach a card reading – I won’t have anyone think they don’t have full responsibiility for what’s going on in their lives.

In reply to Kristen M.. I've seen Sylvia Browne a few times, and the main thing that impressed me was how fast she made up a whole ton of stuff. But completely silly stuff!

In reply to Amy. Thank you! I like the idea of them in fiction, but I can't remember ever having read a fictional book about a psychic that I liked. I don't think? I would welcome recommendations though!

In reply to Erika. Hahahaha, anything that ever unearthed any moral dilemmas would have done a better job than this book did. :p

In reply to leavesandpages. Oh, I don't know who he is either. The only psychic I've heard of is Sylvia Browne, and that's just because when I was watching my soap opera Guiding Light, sometimes Sylvia Browne would be on the show that came on directly after Guiding Light. And we would see her doing her pretend psychic thing and laugh like hyenas and talk about how awesome we'd be at her job. :p

In reply to Jeanne. That is entertaining! I haven't watched Supernatural yet but it's on my list.
