Customer Reviews

not what i was expcting.

so its not a bad book but if you already have the gift and/or you are wanting to deepen your connection to the spirit world, or you follow allison in any way (i listen to her podcasts) then you dont need to buy this...this book is for the skeptics and its a book of little stories from her. WHICH she mentions almost every single day, every single time she opens her mouth....wouldnt be bad for a parent who might suspect their young child has the gift. im giving 3 stars bc i felt a bit mislead.

A very interesting book

I have to agree with some others that Ms. DuBois is no writer; but neither has she ever pretended to be a writer. I find it absolutely charming that she writes exactly as she speaks, rather than trying to strike a false note. In fact, she never, ever strikes a false note--which is unusual. She is utterly sincere at all times. The book was an easy read, fresh, and always interesting. She seems to have written the book by asking herself before each chapter, "Now, what do I want to communicate in this chapter?" Each chapter, then, illustrates a point, tells about a lesson she learned, reassures a young psychic, and so forth. I found the book fascinating in that it brings the reader into the world of a medium. This is what it's like," she seems to be saying. On a personal level, I found it reassuring for two reasons. First, while I'm not sharp like her, I've struggled with being "too sensitive" and the attendant difficulties. I was amazed to hear my early problems being described. I felt smacking my forehead and saying, "Oh! So THAT'S what was going on!" Secondly, she has managed to convince me that there is indeed an afterlife. The latter point is, after all, why she wrote a book called, "Don't Kiss Them Goodbye." I'm grateful to her for what she does--not just finding kids and tracking down killers, but also for helping to reassure so many people who are in pain after tragic losses. Thanks, Allison

Great read! beyond words

This review refers to the audio CD version of this book. From the very beginning, I found Allison's writing and voice to be very compelling. I was very impressed with this book. I have learned many life lessons from this book. To cherish the people and loved ones who are in your life and to let it show. Allison has also answered many questions I've had about the other side and has helped me to embrace my own psychic abilities. I liked hearing her stories about her numerous readings and details from the hit TV show Medium. A great book for all those interested in Allison's work and learning new things. Highly reccommended. The best thing I like about this book was Allison's clear writing style. She doesn't try to impress you with big words, which in my opinion, makes this book easy to understand and most enjoyable to read. You won't be dis appointed! I'm going to purchase We Are Their Heaven soon on audio CD as well.

Loved this book! Alison is a real person with a special gift, as simple as that,

I loved this book, it was a quick, delightful read, and Alison Dubois manages to answer questions you didn't even know you had about those who have the gift of beng a medium. I wondered before I even opened it about the current case of Natalie Holloway in Aruba and hoped that there would be some medium to help her parents guide them to her. I hope they do have assistance from a medium like Alison. After reading this book I now know why we will never hear about it in the media if they do have this type of help. This book delivered the message simply and clearly what I have felt all along and that is that our departed loved ones are with us and that their energy is what we need to stay in the "light". There are people who deliver light energy and dark energy and it tells us that we should ask our guides to keep us away from the dark negative energy. A profound book that serves to enlighten us all. Thank you Alison for sharing a great message that we should all hear!

I Couldn't Put it Down!

I received this book three hours ago and have already finished. I simply could not put it down. I would say that this book is not geared to the skeptic. Allison doesn't exactly explain how she has these visions or what it is like seeing her deceased father-in-law and I think this is probably because it is not exactly something that she can put into words and if she could then those of us that can not experience such connections would not be able to fathom what it is like anyway. She tells you her experiences and you can either take it or leave it, which is something I really enjoyed. It makes her seem even more genuine and very confident in herself and her abilities. I think many of us have anxieties over death and the afterlife and this book helped me with some of those fears. Almost all of us have lost a loved one at some point or and this book helped to reassure me that my loved ones are still around. If only I could find a reputable medium in my area! Thanks Allison for sharing your gift with us and for using it to better the world.

The Real Deal

Get ready to enjoy this sensational book. It's not another "Medium Memoir," it's not the same old book about mediumship. The wait is over; Allison DuBois tells it like it is. She radiates confidence, the book is an easy read. An evidence-based research medium and profiler, I think Allison belongs to an exciting new breed of psychic medium. For those interested in this subject matter, this pageturner gets five stars. It's CSI CROSSING OVER, and then some.
