did not like it

I had high hopes for this book but when it takes me more than a week of reading to get 100 pages into it, the author has not done their job or engaging me as a reader.

The story of William James really should have been the story of the British start of the Psycical Research Society since a majority of Blum's story took place there. She combined the significant physical, scientific, and research-based science progress in with the search for the paranormal. Combine all that backlog of historical scientific breakthroughs with ghost stories, mediums, charlatans and too much hopping back and forth between major scientist and you have a very boring and difficult to follow book.

If the book gets better as it goes along, I would be very impressed by the person who finished it.
