Alright, I will do that.  I read it without having been subject to the reviews or media or marketing blitz that, having looked at those a bit, took a lot away from what is a very interesting little book on many levels.  I did immerse myself on the ride to attempt to feel the experience he was tr

Finally, someone who read the book.  Given that this book is a recounting of his experience and a rudimentary attempt to reconcile his beliefs or lack thereof, as the case may be, what do you think are the "key fatal errors in his assumptions"?  What did you get out of the book, if anything?

Whoops - this was meant for Salyavin808.  This book was interesting to me, not with respect to proving or disproving the phenomena of NDE's, but rather, the way it forced him to completely re-evaluate his assumptions as a scientist and the efforts he went to to reconcile his beliefs about the wo

The thing that is so fucking interesting about you is how many opinions you have that aren't substantiated by much, even the experience of reading someone else's experience.  Do you really think that the title of the book or the assumption that the book is about NDE's is what is important?   I
