"Once more, I had caught a glimpse of the truth lurking beneath our day-to-day existence: The universe is much bigger and stranger and more wonderful than we can even begin to imagine. But the least we can do is try. "
I had this book on my TBR for ages, and I was so excited when my turn came up. I had some trouble getting into it at first, and found myself annoyed that it seemed more like an autobiography (including a ton of background of the author with hardly any paranormal text in sight!) and the book was half over before we got to what I had wanted in the first place. But I realized, as I kept reading, that just because it wasn't what I was expecting, didn't mean it wasn't interesting or important to the overall story.
I wholeheartedly agree with the majority of the conclusions the author came to, and actually found it very uplifting in the end. Some of the writing could have used some polish and got repetitive in places, but all in all, a truly interesting read.
