Good Points: An easy to read account from the life and work of a number of scientists, their research, their conclusions and even their own scepticism. I found it to be honestly written.
Bad Points: Not any I can think of, throughly enjoyed the read.
General comments: This book is for everyone, but especially those who are open and curious enough to wonder what next in our scientific and human evolution and way of thinking and perceiving the world we live in. It was concise and factual but included the human element from the people she was reporting about. The author speculates in the end on the context of this new scientific understanding and how it may relate for example to our understanding on how acupuncture and homeopathy might work, and she does so based on the facts that some of this research has uncovered, but she does not at all do so in a conclusive or indoctrinating manner. As any good reporter would, she leaves space enough for anyone to make their own conclusions about the information she has compiled.

Lynne McTaggart, The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe is bad science with lots of big words and nebulous concepts which might look impressive to an uncritical reader. But it is not actually scientific in approach. It will probably be read and considered deep and meaningful by "well educated " and literate people who lack a critical and curious perspective.
