review 1: This book just wasn't what I was looking for or expected. I'm fascinated by faith and those who have it, people who can believe with such certainty in something they don't see. I think it would be very comforting to believe like that and I want that. I was hoping this book would give me some sort of proof, or at least something that could be proof. The author set out to write this book, not really wanting to objectively examine a question, but to validate her own belief. So the book focused on things that she felt proved her ideas true. It was well researched and interesting, although at times it felt very repetitive, but it had a strong agenda and nothing was going to deviate from that path. Despite this, none of the science or studies actually proved anything- the result... mores just didn't eliminate the possibility of faith or a higher power/being/energy playing a role.
review 2: I'm still unsure what to make of this book: it was a very interesting read on one author's spiritual journey of self. Did it convince me of anything? not really. Does Mrs. Hagerty have an agenda: yes and she wears it on her sleeve (and that's fine!). In all cases, the book is well written (except for the first half of the last chapter - that wasn't good) and explores an area of our being (our death) in a way that, while very much grounded in there is more after death, still manages to bring some level of journalistic rigor to the topic. less
