patiolinguist's review against another edition
2.0
This book had a really pretty cover, which is what reeled me in initially. However, the content (which, one might argue, is even more essential than the cover) was nowhere near as convincing. I concede that anecdotal evidence was to be expected given the genre, but it seems that the author's strategy was basically slapping several dozen stories together and that just did not do it for me.
I began to lose interest towards the end of Pt.1 (of 4), and felt like I was reading the same thing over and over. And that's the other thing - seeing as how repetitive most of the anecdotes were, the book could have just as easily have had 50 pages instead of 300, and been none the worse for it. Oh dear.
2* because I did not hate Pt. 4.

I enjoyed this one just as much as Jackson’s previous book. The stories and feelings she shares about our connections to the other side resonate deeply with me.

Would have liked to have less personal stories and more information regarding how to understand and harness signs.. otherwise a good read!

Not what I thought it was going to be and feeling quite disappointed about that. A book that heavily focuses on grief and the author’s collection of stories about her clients. Wish it had been advertised / summerized as such on the back of the book itself
