I adore Lisa Williams; the book reads very quickly and well, but I was not as enamored as I hoped to be. I want to believe that she is the real deal, but can't be sure without a personal experience. She is extremely likeable and this is a very quick read. Interesting, but not fascinating. ( )

Lisa Williams is a medium, psychic and clairvoyant and when I came across her TV show 'Life Among the Dead' on Foxtel I was hooked. I was instantly drawn to her warm personality and watched every episode I could, as she met with people and passed on messages from loved ones who had passed away.

I was so excited when I learned she was touring Australia however her tour sold out before I could get tickets. The next time she toured the country I bought tickets straight away and went with a friend to see her 'show' at Hamer Hall. Now, I'm a true believer in her gift and was touched by her ability to accurately communicate messages, names, places and other information that she couldn't otherwise have known.

When I learned Lisa had written a book, I just had to read it. This is an autobiography of sorts, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I've read several books by mediums and others have contained explanations of their gift, views on the afterlife and examples of readings that have stayed with them or touched them in some way.

This book is essentially Lisa's life story from childhood to the astonishing success of her hit TV show in LA. It contains a lot of details of her social life that readers looking for the meaning of life will find dull and uninteresting. I didn't, and that's because I really like her and didn't mind reading about her personal life, her love life, her battle with cancer and her journey as a psychic.

Although I've got to say I struggled with how long it took for her to recognise her gift and start to have faith - pardon the pun - in her ability to help people and begin to develop her gift into a full-time occupation. She has now achieved this end and has changed many lives around the world with her abilities and her love and warm character.

Fans of the show will enjoy this book, it was a nice easy read. ( )

I read this book a while ago. This is the life story of an ordinary woman with an extraordinary gift. One of those books that you can’t put down. Can’t wait to read the next one ( )

Ever since she was a little girl in England, Lisa has been able to communicate with spirits. Now she is a world renowned medium/psychic that gives readings and has her own TV show. Life Among the Dead is an intimate account of Lisa Williams’ life. This book takes you on her journey of realizing who she is and a better understanding of her gift.

The book takes you from her life in England to her new home in California. Lisa’s life has been full of ups and downs, which she fully shares with her readers. Not only having to deal with life’s struggles, Lisa had to find a place for her psychic ability to work within her life too. The balance of the two makes for an intriguing look in to her life and how she went from just doing readings for friends at home to having millions watch her on TV doing readings. She talks about her medium/psychic abilities and the healing abilities she found she had too.

I am a big fan of Lisa Williams, ever since I saw a commercial advertising her show starting on Lifetime. The bad news is the show was cancelled since she wrote the book, but the good news is that we have this book to read!! It is an amazing story of how she communicates with spirits, but it’s more of a story of a woman finding her true calling in life and following it. You will laugh and cry reading this book, so have your Kleenex or hankie ready. This is more that a book about someone who talks to dead people, it’s about a real person. ( )
