The Woman Who Can’t Forget is another non-fiction plucked from Zan’s 2008 reading list.
Interesting but not super compelling. I kept wondering if she’d ever tried hypnosis. Can she be hypnotized? What would happen if she was asked about a date or an event under hypnosis – would her memory of the day/event be even stronger? the same? would it effect her memory of it after hypnosis? Would she be susceptible to suggestibility, which she seems not susceptible to in ways that the rest of us are?
OK I’m done thinking about this now.
I’d say that’s a really good description of the way I felt about the book: “Interesting but not super compelling.” I was impressed by the woman’s story, but I didn’t think it was all that well-written.
Interesting question about hypnosis…
