⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Bertoldi’s approach is inviting, turning potentially awkward inquiries into opportunities for spiritual connection. However, this book does not suit skeptics seeking empirical evidence or readers expecting dense academic theory on mediumship. It is also ill-suited for those who prefer solemn, traditional religious texts over conversational, anecdotal explorations of the afterlife. While some may find the tone overly casual or the questions trivial, it effectively serves its target audience by normalizing curiosity about death and the unseen. It is a light, engaging read rather than a rigorous scholarly work.
