"Psychic Diaries" provides a great narritive into the life and work of a psychic. It delves into personal details of what makes Lysa, which is interesting in itself. Sadly, this seems to be the bulk of the book.
As an avid reader of "Conversations with the Spirit World," I was expecting something along those lines. I was disapointed not to hear more of the spirits' voice in this work. It seemed that she pulled many of the same ideas from "Conversations..." and put them into this book -- failing to provide any new and exciting insights.
The personal narritive is a good idea, drawing her readers into her own life -- but it also makes it for difficult reading after 19 chapters. It makes it difficult to connect with the author. Her constant citations of her work in the Levy, along with the others cases, seemed on the edge of self-promotion, to me. Talking about her new TV show is the same. "Money and Spirituality" seemed out of place and an obscure topic. The personal stories at the end seemed tacked on.
It hurts me to write this, because I thought "Conversations..." was a stupendous book -- full of insight and new, bright ideas. I wish this book would've been more on those lines instead of her life story.
Maybe "Conversations..." was a hard act to follow.
