The Psychic Adventures Of Derek Acorah by Derek Acorah (*****)
I suspect that this is a book many of you will have already read. I myself have only just got around to reading it and I am definitely giving it a big five stars. I loved it, though I may be a bit biased as I always watch Most Haunted and I am also going to see Derek at one of his live shows in November.
This book documents Dereks life from him discovering his gift as a child to his career as an apprentice-pro footballer at various clubs, including Liverpool FC, to his early platform appearances at small spiritualist churches, private readings and then right up to date with his various TV appearances most notably the Antiques Ghost Show, Psychic Live and of course Most Haunted.
There are many stories of the people and the places that Derek has met and visited during the course of his medium work. There's also a bit on Dereks relationship with Sam too.
I think one of the things I loved most about this book is that while I was reading it I could hear Dereks voice in my head as it is written in the way his would have spoken it. It was almost like he was sitting behind me telling me about his adventures. The book is full of interesting facts about his life, some of which are well known some of which aren't and is humorous as well as sad in some parts, though Derek always keeps a positive attitude.
I can't recommend this book enough. For those who haven't read it, read it. For those who have read, it I hope you loved it as much as I did.
