Review
I'll admit that the title snagged me. I realize people have differing opinions on the afterlife and reincarnation. Being a person of faith and having spent a year working at Edgar Cayce's ARE, I've been exposed to all sorts of beliefs, but I won't go into my personal beliefs here. I'll merely review this title based upon it's entertainment value.Really, all you'll get here is a "directory" of random celebrities and historical figures. There's a generous biography of each, some more accurate than others (James Dean is incorrectly listed here as an Oscar winner - he's been nominated but never won). After Sylvia briefs us on the life, her "spirit guide" Francine lets us know what happened afterward.Really, it would be nice to imagine an afterlife where you can go to a ballgame and watch Joe Dimaggio in action while Abe Lincoln sits in the stands, or go to a concert where a seeing Ray Charles headlines, but I imagine the skeptic is going to think it pretty hokey, or a load of BS. The description of people on "The Other Side" is difficult for me to grasp. Why does everybody have to be 30 in Heaven? I recall a passage in the Bible where Christ said there is no Jew or Greek, no male or female, but "all the same in Christ Jesus." I guess everybody being 30 is close enough.Anyway, I picked up this book as research for a story I had in mind. It's entertaining, but I suppose we'll find out what's on the other side soon enough.
