 Unique first-hand account of spirit communication. Sep 16, 2007
The best thing about this book is the pure and simple way in which it is written. As the story unfolds in the first person view it catapults the reader into the mind of Alan, sharing both his frustration and joy as he seeks to communicate with his mother from the other side. Another even more unique aspect is that we are given a virtual tour of the transition from the physical body to the spiritual plane of existence.
Rather than being written as an author's conception of what life after death might be like, instead this book gives an exact first-hand account of what many people encounter after they die. Alan gets up close and personal as he shares all of his feelings and the difficulties he faced when he suddenly found himself "dead." Nothing is hidden or "sugar-coated" in this journey, everything is expressed in the most intimate detail. Humorous at times, it also shows that our personalities survive physical death and that an individual's views or opinions remain intact.
Many books about spirituality or life after death struggle to make a connection with the mind of the reader. After all, the ultimate goal of a book is to enable the reader to fully experience, feel, and relate to the events about which it is written. This book does a superb job of conveying the personal feelings and emotions of the writer to the person reading it. In addition, this story includes many references to our modern culture of technology and demonstrates how frequently attempts at communication by our loved ones can go unnoticed. The perseverance and determination of Alan to communicate with his mother is quite striking. Alan shares his frustration as he tries various techniques to communicate; yet he remains resilient until he ultimately succeeds.
Everywhere we turn we see books and television shows about ghosts, but the end result is usually the same: The answer to the ultimate question remains shrouded in mystery. In contrast, Alan's written recollection tells us what it's like to be a "ghost." He tells us of the different places that he travels to, the things he desires, and the changes that must finally come about in his personal journey towards understanding before he finally enters "heaven".
Anyone interested in learning how to communicate with their loved ones or understand how to become aware of the signs of communication will find this book an extremely valuable read. In cases where the grief of the loss of a loved one has taken its toll, this book has the ability to restore hope and strengthen the bond of love. Irrespective of our personal beliefs, everyone can come away a little bit richer from the experience of reading this book. As a communicator with spirit, I have found this book to be one of the purest that I have ever read - definitely considered a "must read."

 A New Perspective Dec 01, 2006
This is really a unique way of looking at and discussing what comes after this world. It's reassuring to read about the ways that our loved ones try to communicate with us and the signs they leave. It really opens one's eyes to signs that we might otherwise be missing.
