Very Disappointing - By: A Customer, 11 May 2008 
This is the first time the Amazon rating system has let me downin choosing a book. This book is more about how the spirit world can help youin your daily life rather than a detailed insight into the otherside or slyvias detailed experiences with the other side. Sorry but I could not wait to finish this book
Enjoyable and inspiring read - By: Pieter, 05 Feb 2003 
The interesting introduction by neuroscientist Melvin L. Morse refers to the work of evolutionary biologist Rupert Sheldrake & physicist Paul Davis. Browne's own style is conversational, even folksy, & quite engaging as there's lots of common sense, humor & positivity. She deals with subjects like inter alia miracles, déjà vu, coincidence, synchronicity, astral travel & the development of the individual's psychic abilities. Her take on the soul-mate myth made me laugh while her explanation of imprints, kinetic energy, hauntings, ghosts & spirits is informative & interesting, whether you agree or not. The chapter on psychic protection is valuable, while her warnings against cults should be taken seriously by everyone. Helpful meditations are provided, for example one for examining past lives. She's very honestin stating that no psychic is able to make correct predictions all the time & admitting her own failures. In this regard, her chapter of predictions for the new millennium does contain some errors, e.g. that breast cancer would be preventable & curable by the end of 1999. The book concludes with an appendix of affirmations. Although this work has inspired a fair deal of negative criticism & although there are aspects of her cosmology that I disagree with or that I consider too simplified, there's no denying that The Other Side is an enjoyable reading experience. One doesn't have to agree with everything to derive enormous insight & pleasure from this book.
The final piece of the puzzle - By: , 09 Jan 2002 This book is the most valuable & thought-provoking I have ever read. I've always been open-minded about the possiblity of a spirit world beyond death, but I never really acknowledged it, despite the strange things which have happened to me. This book made everything click - it explained things which have been happening to me all my life, & finally made me believein the psychic ability we all have rather than dismissing it. Sylvia is a very gifted & special lady yet she is so down-to-earth & writesin a very easy, engaging way. I've now ordered the sequel to this book because I'm hooked. I recommend this book to anyone searching for clarity.
excellent reading and upliffting - By: founza@aol.com, 13 Nov 2001 I could not put this book down, its was as Sylvia had taken over & she was inside of me. This was the first book that i bought of Syliva's, the conversations that she has with Francine(Sylvia's Spirit Giude)makes you think that you are not alone. When reading this book it made me fell at ease & helped me understand what the "Other Side" is all about, I hope that you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
SO FASCINATING! - By: A. Santoro, 05 Jun 2001 It's hard to explain why I loved this book so much. Every chapter comes with its own surprises, anecdotes & interesting theories on life & death. If you've ever wondered what happens when you die, or you ever experienced a deja-vu or simply are intrigued by a woman who can chat daily to her spirit guide & hear exactly what she's saying, just read it. You won't regret it.
