About this listen

What happens to us when we die? Where do people go? What do they see? What messages do they receive? Why are they allowed to come back?

The Day I Died brings together ten profoundly moving testimonies from people who have passed through the limits of human endurance and beyond. Around the world, ordinary people go about their daily lives convinced they've had a glimpse into the afterlife. Their eyewitness accounts often share uncanny similarities, and this book does justice to this beguiling subject by analysing dramatic narratives and shedding light on a phenomenon at the crossroads of the medical and the mystical.

Tammy Cohen presents ten intriguing real-life accounts, including a man who 'died' on the operating table and awoke with increased psychic abilities, a victim of domestic abuse who had a life changing unusual out-of-body experience, plus stories from people who had 'drowned' and 'died' of heart attacks.

Powerful, challenging and endlessly fascinating, The Day I Died celebrates both pleasurable and distressing near-death experiences when death came calling, but left empty-handed.

What did you like most about The Day I Died?

It covered a unique and interesting subject really well

What about Simon Whistler’s performance did you like?

I did not like Simon Whistler's performance, he has a slightly sing song type voice that is quite irritating and sometimes inappropriate. However the book it self was really interesting so this made up for the voice.

Any additional comments?

Great book, I will listen to it again sometime soon.

Really interesting subject

I would advise listening to the audio clip before buying. I cannot stand listening to this narrator. I think it is a matter of taste. It puts me right off!!! He's probably a nice man. I have heard him before and just don't like the way he talks.

my taste, I don't like this narrator.

readers sounds like he's on drugs. is he trying to sing? met very few people that talk like him. He goes up and down in tone that's just annoying

Yet another badly read story.

Having just reach the age of 60 I am more aware of my own mortality. These accounts of near death experiences have taken some of the fear of dying away for me.

Comforting

I gave up on chapter 3 as I just got bored of this book. I might try agin next year, but for now. I just can't get into it. Narration was GREAT though!
