Some reviews from Amazon:

"Not particularly good. I learned more about Uri Geller from Andrija Puharich book about Uri, than his own autobiography. I had hoped to hear his side of the story but he is 

not very eager to share, most likely for his own protection. Don't get this book, get Puharich book about Uri.

Also typical Uri no real discussion about his split with Puharich. Everything is very superficial ,don't offend anyone, don't volunteer any information.

It is good for information about his upbrining and his friends but very little is ever said about the precipitating event and the ongoing experiences. A paragraph and it's over. 

Some pictures of Ufos so there is that to support the alien claim but no real info from URI.

I would not buy this book. Written to make money or for PR purposes."

"What's pathetic is that Geller still maintains that he is not merely a skillful showman, but a "real psychic." Time to move on – and everyone has. Interest in psychic phenomena 

today centers on cold readers like John Edward, who basically does a neo-Victorian seance with the lights on, sans table-rapping, combined with talk therapy. If I were Geller's agent, 

I would recommend that he change his shtick to claiming that the spoons are being bent from beyond the grave by viewers' departed loved ones."

"This book seems a bit superficial."
