Reviews
There are no sound effects, nor is there any crackle of dialogue, but I listened five times. Never strident or hectoring, Raymond Todd has a voice you can enjoy, even when you don't yet quite understand. -- AudioFile A magnificent psycho-philosophical synthesis which ranks among the truly important books of the year. Professor Becker writes with power and brilliant insight. -- Publishers Weekly It is hard to overestimate the importance of this book; Becker succeeds brilliantly in what he sets out to do, and the effort was necessary. -- Chicago Sun-Times The Denial of Death is a great book-one of the few great books of the twentieth or any other century. -- Albuquerque Journal Book Review A brave work of electrifying intelligence and passion, optimistic and revolutionary, destined to endure. -- New York Times Book Review
