The Romeo error: A matter of life and death

This thought-provoking book gives accounts of different near-death experiences. It greatly inspired me to write my second novel. Lyall Watson builds a scientific framework in an attempt to make clear precisely what is meant by death. The solution to our problems appear to lie in the reconciling of scientific investigation and mystical revelation and, for these ends, the author is prepared where necessary to abandon the traditional scientific approach. The result is a fascinating and absorbing book of great importance for our understanding of life, death and its survival. One of the loveliest accounts that will stay with me forever is the near-death experience of a farmer who, before he was resuscitated, saw his bed surrounded by all his formerly deceased dogs - expectantly wagging their tails, waiting for him.
