[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Awakenings, Mediumship, Third Eyes, and Mental Health" by Sean Graham.]
Awakenings, Mediumship, Third Eyes, and Mental Health is a non-fiction title written by Sean Graham using the first person. Readers follow the author's personal story as a psychic medium throughout the book. Graham grew up in Luton, north of London. His family was a normal one, but being told he was oversensitive, he felt miserable a lot of the time as a child. Moreover, he suffered bullying at school. After getting in a bit of trouble, he quit school and left Luton. From the age of 13, he had all types of jobs, from bar work to heavy equipment installations. After his dad died of leukemia, he started his awakening process and became a paid medium.
I enjoyed reading this candid story. The author skillfully uses metaphors and examples to explain supernatural elements to his readers, and I appreciated it. For instance, he explained fortune-telling by comparing it to knowing there's a big hole outside one's front door, but it's covered. It's very likely that one may fall down this hole, and a fortune-teller can see this. I liked how he says that although they can tell the future, there's no interfering with free will and other people’s choices. The author writes clearly and coherently as he explains mediumship and psychic activities, and this aspect was what I liked the most.
Additionally, there’s a good-humored tone to the story, which I liked. For instance, I chuckled when the author argued that every psychic would have won the lottery by now if fortune-telling were an accurate process. I also enjoyed his description of life as being a big game of tag we play with our loved ones before we have to get back for dinner.
The only thing I did not like about the narrative was what seemed to be an overuse of profanity. I usually don’t mind this, especially when it is used in context, but I felt it was exaggerated and a bit out of context. Unfortunately, it detracted a bit from my reading experience. I would have preferred less vulgar words.
In closing, I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. I’m taking a star away due to the negative previously explained. It seemed professionally edited, for I only found a few editing mishaps in it. Readers should be warned that there are scenes of violence, drug use, strong language, and dark themes throughout the book. I recommend it to open-minded readers interested in the supernatural. Skeptics should probably steer clear of it, though.
