Channeling Vysotsky: A Poet's Journey from Limbo into the Light (Channeling... in Making) (Russian Edition)

3 reviews
Tatyana Tanika

SPIRIT Communicator's Press, 2006

An excellent book about afterlife
This book told me that in afterlife the person remains the same as he was in his terrestrial existence. Probably, his personality stays intact for a long time. Vysotsky continues with poems that sound familiar -- as if written on earth. After his death, he is still interested in the same subjects; he loves and hates the same people. However, in afterlife, he sees things deeper and grows to the ...

The King of Limbo and Other Stories (Sewanee Writers' Series)

Adrianne Harun

Overlook Hardcover, 2001

STORIES PENNED WITH PRECISION, GRACE AND STYLE
This debut collection of short stories bodes well for the author's future and our reading pleasure, as Harun writes with precision, grace, and style. Nonetheless, taken as a whole, these ten tales seem oddly disjointed, vignettes gathered from hither and yon. Individually they are minute works of art, penned with perception and imagination. "Lukudi," the opening story, features Natife, a ...

Tough to put down
This book is fun! Frank Lauria has created a clever and cool book that is difficult to put down. The main character, Owen Orient, is sort of James Bond-like but with psychic powers. Lauria has managed to create a very believable world with that is completly captivating. If you like this one, check out Lauria's RAGA SIX.

A great guide to life after cancer

Not Your Typical Cancer Book
Read this book as fast as possible to experience the brilliant highlights and the thoughtful shadows of the "limbo time" and then go back and read it again--essay by essay. Use each essay as a meditation on living. Deborah Cumming's essays are not your typical cancer book. People who are not dying of cancer do themselves a disservice by leaving this book on the shelf.

BRIAN MOORE

DEUTSCH, 1986

What price greatness?
This is undoubtedly my favorite Brian Moore novel and I have read almost all of his many many books. He is (was) such a fabulous writer, but there is something about this book that just goes beyond any of his others. And the strange thing is that "Limbo" it is not easy to obtain. Mine had to be purchased used. It was not a "bestseller" as is so often NOT synonymous with "best-written"! Do what ...

Adventure
I recommend "Cold Limbo". The plot is intriguing. The characters are well-developed so you care about what happens to each one of them. You are given a peek into a gambler's life with farther reaching goals. If you like an easy page-turner with twists and turns leading up to a good ending, you'll like this book.

These are great stories, written with crisp clean prose about women, each living in their own sort of limbo, feeling out of place for some reason or another. Tuck is a great writer and each of the stories in this collection is well-written and well-done. Enjoy.

Burning in Limbo

Jeff Heckrodt

1st Books Library, 2003

High Octane Literature
The story is not a typical suspense feature. It grabs you after a few chapters and does not let you go. It is the kind of book that leads you to an ultimate climactic point and does not let you down. There are some surprising moments of sensuality and some violent content that are a bit intense at times. Over all, I found the story interesting and very different. It lives up to the roller coaster ...
