The story in and of itself is a good one, but the book is poorly written and poorly edited. If the family itself is as egotistical as the author makes them seem, I can't imagine why any soul would choose the group as an ideal environment for reincarnation. Reading about them made the word "dysfunctional" come to mind. The whole story could probably have been better presented in pamphlet form. If you really want to check this book out, pick it up at the library and skim it because it isn't worth spending the hours it would take to read all the extraneous information it contains about the family. I skimmed it in about two hours and saw everything I wanted. Read first chapter for the set up, then skip to the middle of the book where Bruce goes to the Natoma reunion, skip another couple chapters, read the info where he meets Jack Larsen, skip more, wrap up. That's all that's worth bothering with. I really wish Ian Stevenson had been available to work with this case because the level of "cluelessness" going on in this book is extraordinary.
