"gripping accounts of late night abductions as recited by those under hypnosis. unnerving in a way only a non-fiction book can be, mack spares us of any agendas and tells us the extent of his research. those with an open mind and interest in the subject will enjoy this immensely."
"The writing isn't particularly engaging, but for a book that seems on the surface (the cover and title, at least) to be the worst kind of popular tripe, it's quite intelligent and evenhanded in its presentation of information."
"Best book going on alien abductions. John Mack is no crazy pushing an agenda of proof. The accounts presented by this respected psychiatrist point out a uniformity of abuction experiences that defies rational explanation other than what they claim to be. Mass illusion? Possibly. No paranoia - no government conspiracies - straight reportage with comment. Mack leaves the abductions question open as to authenticity, though only a crack."
"This is not a fictional book. It is a collection of stories from the files of a psychiatrist who has specialized in working with those who claim they have been abducted by aliens.
They are fascinating stories. What is most fascinating is that their stories are so similar, though how they "interpret" their experiences are dissimilar.
As a psychiatrist, John Mack feels that such people need to be treated carefully, not because they are dangerous people, but because they need to be able to tell their stories and integrate their experience so they can "go on."
I won't tell you what Mack's position is, nor the details of the stories, but it is a fascinating read.
My thoughts are, "what in society is causing people to have these experiences? What is out of balance that needs to be brought into balance in our society." No, I don't believe in aliens, therefore I don't believe in abductions, but what is "abducting these people's imaginations?""
