I liked this book a lot. Gave it 4 stars. It's the story of a psychologist, Dr. Joanna Lander, who is researching near death experiences (NDEs), along with another doctor, Dr. Richard Wright, in the hospital where she works.
She records the experiences of those who have been declared clinically dead and lived to tell about it. Dr. Wright has come up with a way to manufacture the near-death experience using a psychoactive drug and when their list of test subjects gets rather small, Dr. Lander volunteers to become a test subject herself.
She becomes more and more obsessed with her own NDE and keeps going under multiple times to learn the secret.
And just when you think you know where she is going, Willis throws in the biggest surprise of all -- a shattering scenario that will keep you feverishly reading until the final climactic page is turned.
The reason it's only a 4-star review is that the author does repeat herself quite a bit during the book and at over 800 pages long, it's just too darn long.
