My fiancé asked me to read this book because she felt that it had helped her with her life and that it would do the same for me. I had seen Sylvia on Montel many times back in the day and thought to myself "what a crock". Unfortunately, this held true for this book as well. For a while she had me going, thinking that she truly believed what she was saying, until I got to the end where she makes her predictions for the new millennium. None of which have come true by 2013, and just reaffirmed my belief that NOTHING happens when you die. Your body decays and you, your spirit or whatever dies with it. There is nothing after you die, there is no conscious anything, and it's OVER. I really feel bad that there are people out there like Sylvia taking advantage of others hope (and to a certain extent their money, hey, someone paid for the book, right?)
