This book was one I couldn't put down but also couldn't wait to finish. Both the concept of cryonics and everything that happened in this story are like a bad accident - you can't help but watch with a horror fascination. The book gave a lot of interesting details about the history of cryonics. I really enjoyed the first half of the book.

My least favorite part of the book was toward the end, after Larry Johnson "blows the whistle". He turns from a decent author documenting his story to a defensive, finger-pointing man of questionable character. He constantly writes about how upset he is at how Alcor (the cryonics company that he worked for and whistleblew against) lies and makes accusations against him. Really?! This company is guilty of theft and murder and you don't think they're going to try and lie their way out of your accusations? Another example is how he is in hiding so he wants to avoid TV interviews, but finally decides to do one because "I figured the whole nation must be thinking I was a crank or a thief... I just had to tell my side of the story." So you'll sacrifice your safety for... what? Your bruised ego? Yes, he did the right thing, which takes a lot of courage and I respect him for that. But it started to feel like he expected to profit from his whistleblowing.

In the end though, he seems like the type of guy I would like to sit down and have a beer with. I hope wherever he and his wife are today, they are safe and able to enjoy their lives.
