Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but this book was disappointing. I had the impression from the title that it was going to deal with some evidence of life after death, but all it was was a detailed description of his illness, even to the point where he goes into great detail about the doctors and scientists who invented the surgical equipment that saved his life. Very misleading. At best, it's a great book if you are a pre-med student, but I will be donating this to the used book store, even though I paid the cover price to purchase it. Sorry, Sebastian, but not a fan.
