I had two main thoughts about this book. On the one hand is the interesting life of Uri Geller himself and on the other the writer's skill. The former was pretty much lost on me by the lack of the latter.
Page 57 before it even got out of a long list of experiments, page 128 or so before the one fascinating insight into his childhood is even mentioned? An introduction peppered with '(as we shall see later)' type brackets - I mean surely you stop doing that in A Level English essays?
The writer is obviously an excellent journalist but what is a good style for 2,000 words falls apart over 200 pages.
And in this mess we have to gauge what may be an evolutionary movement in the human brain. We are even told of 'others' like Uri. Now there's a story. What we do learn is that over all the things Uri did, he never felt he had any control.
Neither does the writer. ( )
