Title: Not About Real Science or Medicine
Product review: This book is a paranormal thriller decorated with interesting ideas from recent research. But the book doesn't address any real issues raised by those ideas. The style of the book is that events unfold, and one is told what to believe and feel about them by what the sympathetic characters believe and feel, even when this makes no sense in terms of the events themselves, as happens most jarringly with the central hinge event, where everyone goes berserk over a pacemaker turning on.Ironically, the point the book makes best is that doctors should be honest with their clients, and not gloss over the difficult parts. I liked how the melodramatic, but all-too-plausible villians were put through some changes.
