The problem with writing a book about life/death/life after death is that you really don't have a choice but to go into some of the usual spirituality mumbo-jumbo (such as being "in" someone, descriptions of sharing consciousness, descriptions of out of body consciousness, etc). This book, of course, has its fair share of that, and at some points, I have to consciously remind myself not to roll my eyes at yet another mention or description.
