In this uniquely fascinating book, world-renowned psychic Sylvia Browne recounts her captivating life as a clairvoyant, telling of her earliest "readings" as a young child in Kansas City, and of her first contact with "Francine," her spirit guide. In engrossing detail, Sylvia tells how her "gift" has assisted police departments in their search for missing children and dangerous criminals—and how her predictions of deaths, plane crashes, and momentous world events were sometimes heeded—or tragically ignored. But more than anything else, this is the remarkable story of one woman’s psychic odyssey, for it offers illuminating insight into how we can better understand ourselves and our own psychic abilities.
I enjoyed this book, enough to finish it. It wasn't boring like some "bios" can be. I'm not sure whether I believe any of her accounts, but she is a very interesting personality. :)
This book just isn't well-written, and as is the case of other people who wrote bios about themselves (Tess Munster/Holliday or Ragen Chastain, for example), Sylvia had proven to be a liar, fraud, and charlatan, many of her predictions (including the one about Ariel Castro's victims) turning out to be utterly false.
