Someone, quick, sue the author, Dermot Davis, who's a huckster for setting expectations low at the beginning, then whams you at the end!  My reaction to this book is similar to the first book I read, Brain: The Man Who Wrote the Book That Changed the World.  At first, I wasn't thrilled, then I loved it by the end.The best part of the story is how the main character, George, changes when he leaves his new "profession" and then confronts his family.  It actually brought tears to my eyes.  I would have loved to see a reconciliation with his adult son, too, to top off the icing on the cake.  Some of the "psychic" revelations are hilarious.  I'm a professional accountant, as well, so I know exactly what the author is referring to.The love story is wacky, wonderful, and different.  I actually found it much more romantic than those typical market-tested "romance" stories which can be insipid or shallow and always feature people who have the looks and the youth of professional models.Loved this book.
