Excellent. Very thoughtful, thought provoking and sometimes humerous look at death, the afterlife and the quest for meaning.

Conceptual flips turned into stories about other possible after lives. Not a perfect fiction but exciting enough when discovering a new potential truth.
I loves the type of book and language.

This is a beautiful and intriguing look at what live after death may hold - it will stretch your imagination and swirl in your dreams for countless nights. I recommend you read it slowly, no more than one story a day. Let them percolate in your thoughts for best effect.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It gave you what the afterlife could look like for different people. This book surprised me for sure.
God created lie in His own image; His congregations are the microbes...Our death is unnoteworthy and unobserved by the microbes, who merely redistribute onto different food sources. So although, we supposed ourselves to be the apex of evolution, we are merely the nutritional substance.
Many of Eagleman's afterlife scenarios are thought-provoking, some are amusing and a few are slightly odd. I loved the one where all your actions were grouped, so you re-lived your life in categories spending "six days clipping your nails...eighteen months waiting in line...five days working buttons and zippers..." I also enjoyed the one where you only really died until people stopped saying your name, so famous people (for good or evil) lived much, much longer in the waiting room than mere mortals like you or me. This was a great book and it's one I'd like to return to one day.
