Om Yes, spiritually it's quite accurate and is becoming one of the required readings of the baby-booming conscious death movement for perspective. As always Fairfield is on the forefront of that too. The book's very readable as a modern narrative. By demographics now a lot of people in Fairfield are reading it. Nice 'cus it is not loaded so with religious buzz.
