Negative Positive
Title: A just adequate account.
Review: There is little new here, just historical summaries of material that I mostly knew combined with a series of modern essays that are generally all of a piece, which can be summarized as "if you think there's any kind of afterlife as traditionally envisioned, good luck!" Admittedly, I was looking for a more optimistic take on an afterlife, but the overwhelming negativism here was pretty much of a downer.
Is the review positive or negative?
