half baked - Rated 
i'm sorry to be negative but this book is potentially misleading and lacks rigour. His interpretaion of much of the science is lacking in foundation. He seems to be drawing on his own interpretations of other peoples work to weave a pattern to prove his theories. There is a sense of adding 2 plus 2 to equal 5 or 6. His writing style is excellent and there is much of interest - but given the errors - it is hard to take seriously. The book by David Fontana is better.
Interesting but flawed - Rated 
This is a collection of information on new physics and new discoveries in medical conditions with commentary and interpretation. Author brings a lot of this together in acceptable fashion and there is some really interesting stuff - however a problem is encountered when he starts over interpreting the information and then leaping to his own set of conclusions. The link between the facts and theories and the author's personal conclusions on the details of what an afterlife is, is tenuous at best.
Worth reading because the developments and new discoveries are worth being aware of - but your own conclusions on what it may mean are likely to be as valid as the author's

This is great fun, a rocket-powered, roller-coaster ride round the Universe and back in time for tea. Quantum physics; ancient religions; neuro-physiology; philosophies, old and new, whirl by, and you actually seem to understand them! It's a dizzying experience, and when the author hands you out at then end of it all, you're almost prepared to accept his conclusions - almost.

As most Amazon commentators have remarked, Anthony Peake explains extremely complex physics in a very palatable way, making it easily digestible for both scholars and lay people (such as myself). What else his book brings to the table is a number of notions which are not only thought provoking but, to some people in particular, will resonate in terms of offering alternative explanations as to why they have precognitive experiences (it was worth the price of the book to read this alone). I read the book and at a later time was fortunate enough to be in the right place at the right time and recently attended one of Anthony Peake's seminars in the UK. He answered my questions in a forthright & honest manner and was able to satisfy those gray areas which were niggling me. If you ever get the opportunity, go to one of his seminars. This guy has collated so much information and data on so many facets affecting the human condition e.g. physiological, psychological, physics (to name a few) and has plausibly and painstakingly identified interconnecting threads from which he has created a comprehensive and cohesive study of considerable merit.
Not what it claims but very interesting - Rated 
I wouldn't normally have picked up a book with this title as I am quite happy that there is 'life after death' and with my beliefs about what form that takes. Anyway, having read it, I found it a treasure trove of information about quantum physics and how it's findings impact on our view of reality. A lot of this information is already familiar to me but nevertheless, the amount of info given in respect of our percption of TIME was impressive and helped me finally 'get' the whole concept of time not being real and being a purely subjective experience.
As a general read the book is very interesting. Some of it's reasoning is confusingly presented making it hard work to understand; there are a huge number of typographical errors which I found extremely frustrating; and the conclusion was rather an anti-climax. BUT - very worth a read.
