A must for Derek Fans!
Being a fan of Most Haunted and Derek Acorah, I couldn't resit buying this book. I have not read any of his other books, but found this one provieded a history of Dereks life, from Childhood to the present day, briefly detailing the work he has carried out over the years.

The tone of the book mirrors that of Dereks performance on TV. The book reads as if very softly spoken and is a joy to read but I found myself questioning weather some of the words used in the text had been made up? For anyone who has watched Derek at work they will know he tends to express himself using combinations of words. Dialect aside, he gets his point accross very well.

The Psychic Adventures of Derek Acorah, is both warming and pleasurable to read.
I can safely say, I closed the book with a smile on my face and with a little more knowledge about the world of spirit than when I began.

This is definately a book for any Derek Acorah fan.

Psychic Adventures of Derek Acorah - A Superb Read
Derek Acorah's latest book certainly lives up to expectations for all those interested in his highly entertaining television and theatre appearances. Derek's writing style is compelling from beginning to end as he explains his first psychic experience to his rise and rise as a household name. His book contains numerous short stories which recount his experiences working with individual clients to team investigations including the International Society for Paranormal Research and the Most Haunted series. I found each story interesting and heart warming as Derek relayed his positive nature and humour to most of the book. Those who are aware of Derek's spirit guide Sam will also be treated to an insight into their relationship and adventures together as they encounter good natured and malevolent spirits. This truly is an amazing book which I would highly recommend to anyone.
