Warning - when starting The Sibold Effect make sure you don't have anywhere you need to be or anything you need to do because you won't want to stop reading until you've finished it all!! Trust me on this! The book starts off with an enticing beginning and just keeps going with one interesting event after the next. I think what I liked the most about this book was just the overall feel the author John David Miller managed to create where it felt intimate, like a friend is telling me this really cool, strange story that I didn't want to stop listening to. Loved the unpredictableness, and the fact that this wasn't just a cliche 'ghost story'. This went much deeper than that, and I was truly impressed with the author's literary and research skills. I actually feel like I learned a lot, all while being 'entertained'. I've always had a fascination with the 'supernatural', but it is usually presented in such a eye-rolling, unbelievable way, It was great to read something so intelligently constructed with impressive research and complex connections that all come full circle in the end. Suitable for mature teens on up. (5 stars) Carla Biggins-Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers I'll be the first to say that I am more of a fiction reader (fantasy and romance) and not one for reading about recounting of historical events, real and paranormal, in the Appalachians. But I was looking for something a little out of my comfort zone and this book sounded intriguing. Well, I am most certainly glad I took the chance on John David Miller's The Sibold Effect ! This was a brilliant, engaging, and totally mind blowing book that completely surpassed my expectations and then some. It is very meticulously researched, but written in a way that has great flow and is easy to get lost in, not like a dry, dull textbook or something. The title comes from the place the author owned where the author has a connection to the family (Sibold) who then had strange, mysterious experiences and things start happening. The story transitions to characters from the past who seem to influence what is going on now, and it all comes together to make a surprising ending that literally made me gasp out loud. The way he covers the topics is so comprehensive, but not so much to bog it all down. Loved the Indian influence and the great pictures. Also liked the part about the elementals, and the info on the paranormal/supernatural spectrum in regards to energy and Earth's magnetic field, and I thought the connections with the nature and spirit relationship was very enlightening. Much more spiritual, insightful and informative than I was expecting... I didn't want to put my Kindle down even one time while reading this book (even though I had to!) All in all a very good read that I'd recommend even to those who don't normally read this sort of thing...try it, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
