Adventures of a Psychic

The Fascinating and Inspiring True Life Story of One of America's Most Successful Clairvoyants

By: Sylvia Browne

Narrated by: Sylvia Browne

"PSYCHIC, MEDIUM, CLAIRVOYANT, CHANNEL-these are all words used to describe Sylvia Browne's unique power. I would prefer to use the word LOVE because that's what Sylvia Browne represents to me-love of the gift God gave her, and love of spirituality in the messages she gives us all. I've personally witnessed her bring closure to distraught families, help the police close cases, and witnessed her open people's hearts to help them see the good within themselves. I never believed in the first four words before, and then I met Sylvia Browne."- MONTEL WILLIAMSOn this uniquely fascinating audio book, renowned psychic Sylvia Browne recounts her captivating life as a young woman growing up with the gift of clairvoyance; tells of her uncanny interactions with "Francine," her spirit guide; and reveals the many lessons she's learned about life, death, and "the other side."In engrossing detail, Sylvia explains how she went from being an elementary school teacher who did "readings" for her friends and co-workers, to being one of the most highly regarded clairvoyants in the country. More than anything else, this is the remarkable story of one woman's very personal psychic odyssey, for it offers illuminating insight into how we can better understand ourselves and the events that shape our lives!

Critic reviews

"This book is dedicated to my grandmother, Ada Coil, who provided the wind that filled the sail; and a special thanks to my sons, Paul and Chris, for their love and support."
— Sylvia Browne

"This book owes its existence most directly to a special friend and mentor, John Wilson, whose editorial skill and creative instincts once again proved invaluable."
— Antoinette May

FASCINATING book, the best - BUT re-record please

I was fascinated by this book, the best of Sylvia's so far, given that it contextualizes her fascinating gift in the history of a FASCINATING life: HERS. I especially loved the history of how her psychic skills impacted her love life - and how they didn't serve to warn her of tragedy and travail in the same. It puts things in a bit of perspective when you see that Sylvia is surfing the same seas as the rest of us. Perhaps it is my penchant for history, and for personal stories, but I find this to be the most interesting of her works. I enjoyed her other books as well, but they tended to be a bit information-rich - and this book tends to soften it all with context of life stories, love stories, stories of intimacy, betrayal, loss. Its true that Sylvia winds personal stories in her other books, but this is the richest, and I just loved it.

At the same time, there were some strange things about this book that detracted from it - for one, when she approached the chapter on "Hauntings" she didn't read it, just referred to listeners to "go read the chapter in the book" - huh? I was under the impression that this was what I'd paid HER to do. Paying for the same book twice isn't fair, in my humble opinion. Maybe she was trying to sell her new book on hauntings, but I don't think that this her style. I had more the feeling that she was sick of reading, but then she should've taken a reading break - not asked us to do it ourselves! Besides this, the recording was a bit sloppy. More than 5 times, I heard her begin a chapter, and then apparently stop, and then begin again, reading the same 30 words verbatim. It gave me the feeling of being psychic, or having a deja vu, given that I'd heard them only 5 seconds before.... Maybe Sylvia lost track of having said the same thing already. These two aspects of the recording make me say that the audio book is fantastic, BUT she should re-record it - carefully, and include the "haunting" chapter for which we all paid.

perfect

I read this book because I am interested in mediumship. It is a very real look into a psychics life. It raised some thought-provoking questions for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The first of it's kind I've read, and I couldn't put it down. I found myself pondering Sylvia's adventures long after I'd finished the book. Try it!
