Helpful Score: 1
A story of research into near-death-experiences, this book was a combination of helter-skelter panic and rushing, and an almost-mystery story taken on by the lead researchers.
The premise is intriguing. The characters are definitely people you root for (unless you're not supposed to).
But a large part of the story seems to be the symbolic presence of an unplanned building layout in the researcher's hospital. Getting from one place to another in this hospital is a chore beyond annoying, and Willis spends far too much time describing how awful the layout actually is. It *does* seem to be symbolic of the chaos in a dying mind, but egad. Too many words describe it.
The book took a long time to finish. Partially this was my own holiday schedule interfering, but it would have been nice to see it tidied up more quickly. It took a lot more words to complete than it really should have.
Even so. I liked it. 4 of 5 stars.
