Review

I fell in love with the way this book was written! Considering the gravity of situations and paranormal occurrences, the author’s narrative was very entertaining! I think contrary to the author’s belief that he might be perceived as tetched in the head, I don’t think that at all. If anything, he is gifted and courageous for accepting his gifts. I would’ve been dead of a heart attack, or would’ve been in an asylum if I had acquired psychic abilities like he did, so I am so glad I didn’t. But I admire how he’s full of optimism, and how much connected he is with nature, animals, and otherworldly beings.


I love everything about this book. My most favorite parts are the ones with his best friend Bill because they are hilarious. I love how Bill accepts John as he is, but doesn’t want anything to do with anything paranormal. I was teary-eyed because those moments cracked me up a lot. I can very much relate with Bill! My closest college friend, whom I shared a room with when we were reviewing for the board exam in Manila, has psychic abilities. She can see dead people, or predict when someone’s about to call, and knows a lot about mystical beings other than ghosts. I was always scared out of my wits whenever she told me about a presence in the room, then I would act like I didn’t hear anything. My favorite niece and his brother (my nephew), also have what they refer to as ‘third eye’ and I remember how much that creeped me out way back when we all lived together in the same house.


This book is definitely 5 out of 5 stars! It’s a huge affirmation to this mysterious world that we live in, and a complete verification that there are more to this world that only those who believe will ever know. I highly recommend this to ALL readers who believe in the paranormal.
