Here are some customer reviews from Amazon:

“Not particularly good. I learned more about Uri Geller from Andrija Puharich’s book than from his own autobiography. I hoped to hear his side of the story, but he seems reluctant to share, likely for his own protection. Skip this book and read Puharich’s instead. There’s little depth regarding his split with Puharich; it feels superficial, avoiding any potentially controversial topics. While it provides some background on his upbringing and acquaintances, it barely touches on pivotal events and ongoing experiences. There are a few UFO images to support the alien narrative, but no substantial insights from Geller. I wouldn’t recommend purchasing this book; it feels more like a PR effort than a genuine exploration.”

“What’s unfortunate is that Geller insists he is more than just a skilled performer; he claims to be a ‘real psychic.’ It’s time to move on—interest in psychic phenomena has shifted to cold readers like John Edward, who conduct modern séances without the theatrics. If I were Geller’s agent, I would suggest he pivot to claiming that the spoons are bent by the spirits of viewers’ departed loved ones.”

“This book seems a bit superficial.”
