 Derek does it again. Highly reccommended reading. August 19, 2008
I have read all but one of the books that international Medium Derek Acorah has written so far as I am a strong fan of his. I must mention that all of his books are available on Amazon.com. Yes, I too am a Medium, but that does not mean that I still can't learn and enjoy reading about other gifted people. I have seen Derek in action, and I must say he is one of the world's best. In all of his books, including this one, Derek brings you to the mysterious world of ghosts, spirits and haunting. He goes way beyond that and tells of his life and personal experiences which I find fascinating as will everyone who reads this. He is so good and in demand that he has had many successful T.V. shows including "Most Haunted", Derek Acorah's Ghost Town's" and is currently the star of his new show: "Paranormal Eygpt", which I have watched and found that I wish my own abilities were as good as his. I recommend this great book, written in a down to earth style and contain true stories. Reading his works make me wish to some day meet & perhaps work with him. This book for me gets five stars!

 The Psychic Adventures of Derek Acorah October 22, 2007
Gives a little background to the T.V. personality but nothing indepth. I bought this because I was curious.
Didn't satisfy me too much as a book. But it did give a look into Derek's background and ability.
I would recommend this only to the true Derek Acorah fan.

Having watched Most Haunted on The Travel Channel, I have always been fascinated with Derek Acorah. This book truly does open your eyes to what it is like to be him everyday: from being stopped while on vacation to perform readings for people he does not know to seeing time and places which no longer exist while simply getting coffee. Acorah writes in a simple format which does not take away from his passion or eloquence concerning the subject of the spirit world. Definitely a very interesting, entertaining read!

Anyone who is a fan of The Travel Channel's "Most Haunted" and "Derek Acorah's Ghost Towns" will enjoy getting to know Derek better through his series of books. He's a charming man with an easy writing style who considers his gift "just a normal part of my everyday life" and he doesn't feel the need to try and shove paranormal dogma down anyone's throat.
"The Psychic Adventures of Derek Acorah" begins with a brief history of who he is and how his introduction to the psychic world came to be, then chronicles many of his adventures within the UK. Some of the stories, like his encounter with Mary Queen of Scots and a malicious spirit who attacked his energy field are fascinating, while others, like his chapter on bereavement are heartwarming and informative.
I read the book in one sitting, immediately ordered his two other books, and have already pre-ordered the latest offering, Haunted Britain, which should be available the end of March. If the Most Haunted and Ghost Towns DVD's were available for American audiences, which sadly, they are not, I'd truly be a happy camper.
