I have always been a big fan of John Edward's TV show, Crossing Over, but the thing that struck me most about the book, is that you hear him say the words. The phrases are the same, the terminology, but even for one who has not seen the show this book will amaze, astound and scare you! John Edward gives an insight into his life, how he found out he had both psychic and clairvoyant abilities, how these developed over the years, and gives descriptions of what he does now, people he has "read", experiences that have occured to him during his time as a professional medium, and prior. More importantly this book leaves you with the feeling that people are important when they are here, and as John often says, you should communicate, validate and appreciate when they are here, so someone like him doesn't have to when they are gone. The book will astound you at his accuracy, leave you wondering if it is true, scare you at thoughts of the afterlife, question your beliefs and leave you feeling warm about loved ones who have crossed.
