The reviews


My first tornado of emotions came when I seen the book available as an e-book...then the emotions when I seen the print version for the first time.
I went to collect the parcel and I couldn't wait to open up the package and see the print version. It was raining outside, I had my bag from work, another bag with the grocery shopping and an umbrella. I literally dropped everything I was holding, in the middle of the streets, under a heavy - British - rain to open up the package and hold my baby. The rain on my face got mixed with my tears and it was one of the most incredible feelings, EVER.

Now.... It's the emotions of the feedback, the reviews and comments. I read every email, every feedback and review most of the times with tears in my eyes - probably how a parent feel when he sees his child achieving something important, making him proud.


In this case, what I enjoy the most is not the number of stars given (of course I want to see my baby doing well ;)  but the most thrilling feeling comes from learning what emotions and thoughts the story is bringing on on the readers. I am so curious to find out what people like the most, what people dislikes the most...what did they think of it...

I had a lady saying she cried at the end and that it made her think of all of those she loved and who had died...she said she felt such a comforting feeling...


Please please let me know your thoughts...send an email; put a review on amazon, send me a tweet... I am so keen to hear your honest and true feedback on my baby!

below some of the feedback;

    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

    This review is from: The Truth Never Dies (Volume 1) (Paperback)
    Although I'll admit it was difficult for me to comprehend and wrap my head around a lot of the concepts about spirituality presented in The Truth Never Dies, it was an eye opening and interesting read...a lot of the points made about love and positive vibes match up perfectly with what I believe, which I found interesting considering how different the author's spirituality is from my own. Valter Santos did an amazing job in making the entire story relatable in that sense, he simply presented his views...he pushed the reader solely to open their mind and attempt to understand his own spirituality rather than alter theirs. People have this preconceived notion of fear associated with spiritual concepts of a certain nature, mediums and whatnot, but Santos did a good job in showing that there's nothing to be afraid of...The Truth Never Dies was more comforting than anything else, absolutely no pressure whatsoever was placed on the reader to believe in what the author was saying, instead it was focused on positive vibes and understanding, it was about knowledge and learning and growing, and I have so much respect for Valter for doing such an incredible job of that. Definitely worth the read, absolutely stunning.
