Review # 1 was written on 2016-06-25 00:00:00 Dave Himley Again difficuties in rating academic pieces of work. Overall I think this was a solid compilation of various aspects on experienceing reading as the title suggests. Some kind of a subtitle could have been in placel, considering that the book as really about neuropsychological responses rather than anything else. What bathered me in teh most was that the author felt the need to explain in detial the various experiments, as if he needed to justify (again) the results in this work. Maybe that is the price one needs to pay for being interdisciplinary? Anyway an interesting compilation of results, illustrating that humans have the basic cognitiv mechnanisms that underlie the reception of any text in a similar way.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-14 00:00:00 James Grass Some great insight into immersion by explicating the metaphor of transportation. Good connections to research studies of pretend play, among other things.
