The greatest weakness in the book is that some of the accounts lack clear proof that the person was "dead" or near death. In some cases, the presentation glosses over the event and goes on to describe the "experience". Therefore, some reports could have been related to seizures or even dreaming.
That a multitude of people report "near death experiences" is no proof.I believe a multitude of Americans report being abducted by aliens.
Overall, an easy to read book but not convincing.
