Why not read it before passing judgment? I also am a rational person, but I believe there is a lot more around us than just the physical world. I recognize that there are many scam artists out there just hoping to take your money. However after reading this book, I am left with a strong impression that this woman is not one of them. I believe that she is telling us the truth.
Oh no, I'm extremely open minded concerning the metaphysical.
I just know that I'm not going to learn anything by paying money to read crap devised by this con artist. I could've written this book, without ever 'meeting' Freddie Mercury's spirit.
There's a beautiful quote in South Park when they're making fun of John Edwards actually; to the effect of, if there is an afterlife, do you really think your lost relatives want to hang around for all eternity talking to THIS asshole?? (The asshole, in this case, being the author of this ridiculous book).
It's contrived junk. She should do a double feature with J K Rowling.
I borrowed it when I heard about it the last time it got brought up. It's hammy, disingenuous and trite.
Someone couldn't wait.. as if I don't have better things to do than write a crap post about a crap book. :P Gaw it's nice to be loved.
So; I disagree with you, having read the same texts, but it's an invalid opinion because you say 'it is just good'. Excuse me, Bill O'Reilly is calling on line 2...
I don't agree with you. I'm open to spooks and metaphysics and things that halfwitted authors cannot properly explain, but I am not open to this blatant profiteering piece of nonsense. I could've written this book, without ever meeting Freddie Mercury's ghost.
I am puzzled by your strong negative reaction to this book. If you are open to psychic phenomena, why are you so sure that Mary is not communicating with Freddie? I was a sceptic myself before reading it, but by the time I finished the book, I had no doubt that this woman was telling the truth. I have read just about every book that was written about Freddie Mercury and the poetry throughout this one brings forth many facts about his life. More than that though, is that it brings forth ideas about him that I had already formulated by reading between the lines of every other book. It confirmed many things that I had already guessed might be true regarding his relationships and how he viewed his life. Mary Howis would have to be extremely clever to have made all this up. She would also have to be extremely crass since she dedicated the book to her deceased mother, as well as featured stories and photos of her family, including her severely handicapped little grandson. I just don't see any deception here at all.
"I was a sceptic myself before reading it, but by the time I finished the book, I had no doubt that this woman was telling the truth."
Good for you. I didn't get the same feeling.
"ok so write this book."
If its all the same to you, I'd like to write a better one that didn't involve ripping people off.
Well actually, that is a bit unfair - it's your money, enjoy what you buy with it. Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable flogging something like this unless it was strictly considered 'fiction'.
But I'm sure the Bible started out as a 'collection of short stories' before people started taking it seriously. Hehe.
Really though... you're allowed to wax lyrical on how much you like the book - am I not therefore blessed with the same opportunity to say how much I don't like it?
