Book Reviews of Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives
Book Review: Sum it up!
Summary: 5 Stars
A really excellent book. I bought it after hearing a review on the radio. and was not disappointed. There were 40 different after-life scenarios from the author's imagination. Most were either thought-provoking or amusing; and in the best cases both. A few were repetitive or picked up potentially from elsewhere (eg H2G2) but the majority saamped this minority.
Highly recommended.
Book Review: Thanks ...
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely outstanding read - amazingly refreshing ...
JBS Haldane (British born Indian Geneticist: 1892 - 1964) once was quoted to say: "The Universe is not only queerer than we imagine - it is queerer than we can imagine".
Most of us do not try, know how, or even want to "imagine" - you can and did - many thanks for a wonderful book!!!
Book Review: About LIfe, not the afterlife
Summary: 5 Stars
I heard the title story read on NPR and could not get it out of my head until I had bought the book. Now i have read it several more times, and the next few stories too. Actually the stories are prose-poems, wonderful musings on aspects of life that I had not thought about before. The insights into life seems both true yet very odd--this guy really thinks differently.Book Review: An imaginative delight
Summary: 5 Stars
Dave Eagleman has written a delightful series of imaginative romps through the afterlife, as only a neuroscientist could do. Although his takes on the matter are as changing as the turn of each page, his consistent voice reflects insight, mystery and humor, in equal measures.Book Review: So good!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't usually write Amazon reviews, but this book is so good I had to. Brilliant concept and beautifully executed to make reading it a profound experience. It is a book that stretches your mind and lets you see possibilities. It is simply an amazing read.
