Whoever gave this book 5 stars is insane! How could you applaud someone for objectifying a human in this way? Especially if you're a Marilyn fan. I'm so very dissapointed that 45 years after her death idiots are still trying to cash in on her name. She was a person, not a product!

However, if you are reading this soley for the purpose of getting some information on reincarnation then more power to you. I just wish it could have been approched in a much less offensive manner.

I have read many books on reincarnation. In fact, I find reincarnation a valid theory and am always eager to read new books on this fascinating subject. I am also interested in Hollywood. So this seemed like the perfect synergy. However, it's a major disappointment. Much of the book consists of transcripts of hypnotic regression sessions and emails. Many of these go over the same information and are tedious, boring, and even embarrassing. My take on Sherrie is that she is at worst someone who is desperate to further her entertainment career. She comes across as needy, a bit shallow, and saddled with a histrionic personality disorder. The biggest problem I have, however, is with Dr. Finkelstein. He seems much more calculating, controlling, and perhaps involved in an inappropriate relationship with his patient. Numerous times he writes about how attractive and sexual he finds Sherrie. In addition, he includes many transcripts and emails with Sherrie telling him how wonderful he is. Furthermore, the doctor tells her he was a healer for her in a previous life. He's also amazingly unscientific when he tries to prove his points. For example, he attempts to regress Sherrie's daughter to prove that she's the reincarnation of Marilyn's mother Gladys. The regression doesn't work, and the doctor actually states "This was a form of proof in itself that she was really Marilyn Monroe's tormented mother in her last life." WHAT?! Seriously, does that make any sense? I could go on and on, but the gist is that the book offers an intriguing concept but is deeply flawed. The only good that will come from it is that more people will be exposed to reincarnation and want to learn more about it. God forbid, however, this be anyone's first book on reincarnation.
