What would it be like to have a near-death experience? Are
there any common characteristics between all of the ones people have had? What’s
it like to come back to life? How are their lives forever changed? Death
Travelers, as coined by those who are a part of the NDE crowd, are people who’ve
brushed with death and lived to tell the tale. Some common characteristics,
such as overwhelming love and peace and an out-of-body experience, are
experienced by all. While others, how stay dead longer, may see angels or dead
relatives while others may not. Is there a scientific explanation? Why do so
many researchers have such an interest in this topic? Why are some not so
willing to share their experience? In this book, Bachrach dives into the world
of the unknown and attempts to understand what happens after death. She tries
to make sense of such questions as she deals with the upcoming demise of her
own mother.
The book is very well-written and fairly objective about
near death experiences. Her bias of being a skeptic, an outsider, helps her and
the reader to take an in-depth look at what others have experienced. Although
she only briefly cover while some are so skeptical, her look at the science and
research as well as the experiences, leaves the listener to draw their own
conclusions. Narrator, Susan Boyce does an excellent job of bringing to life
Bachrach’s work. Her clear sounding voice is smooth and interesting to listen
to. Her intonations transition easily between experiences and scientific
thought while never losing the reader. Readers interested in near death experiences
will not be disappointed.
