I wish every person alive would read Rob Gentile's Quarks of Light! In my opinion, it truly reveals the Mysteries of the Universe. If that isn't enough, it is an incredibly riveting personal story of deep love and human triumph over incredible odds.
I teach memoir writing at the university level and have read hundreds of memoirs--I believe Rob's registers at the very top as one of the most inspired. And considering it is his first book, it is even more impressive.

Very helpful and comforting
I have seen many books promoted as “page turner”, “can’t put it down”, etc. but Quarks of Light truly fulfills that promise.Although I have never personally experienced an organ transplant or had a near death experience; nor, have I raised a special needs child, I can relate and find peace and encouragement from each of the author’s life events.At about the same age as the author I had emergency open heart surgery and could somewhat relate to the anxiety of being cut open and with the pain of recovery. Further, I cared for my wife for the last five years of her life having to meet her every need. Alzheimer’s introduced me to the requirements of a ‘special needs’ loved one suffering also from Primary Progressive Aphasia, unable to speak for her last year. But the greatest comfort was in reading and rereading the author’s account of his Ethereal experience. I was holding my wife’s hand as she took her last breath and i am very familiar with the Apostle Paul’s comments regarding “absent the body, present with the Lord”. I was present as she made that transition and for weeks I wondered what her feelings were, and I had a sense of emptiness just trying to imagine. The account of Rob’s Ethereal experience seemed to somehow help bring everything into sharper focus.Thank you for this work, it helps a lot!

I don't normally review books but this author expressly asked readers to do so. It's an excellent book until you get to the review inquiry printed as an afterword. It's as if the author has learned nothing, or doesn't fully understand or believe what he has written (LGLG), especially given his research into social media. This one page nearly negates all those written prior to it.
That being said, I am grateful for the confirmation of two souls one body this author provides. While I can see how it might be more likely to occur with a physical transplant of body parts, I do not believe this is required. Love and Belief are very powerful things. They prove that the rational capacity is finite, whereas the irrational capacity is infinite. Existence, after all, is not a rational thing.
