Review # 1 was written on 2010-12-15 00:00:00 Leonard Parkan Definately in my top 1% of chess books a true joy to read i only wished that the book was triple the size, if not as big as the Book of Lists #1 #2 #3

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-13 00:00:00 Chad Chapman Not a smooth narrative but some interesting info about the Rhines, via Louisa's diaries and letters. It's odd,though--you'd never know from reading this how very exciting some of their telepathy experiments were. As the forward by her daughter says, she just wanted to write down some of her earlier memories. The Rhines show what a true meeting of the mind can be. They were truly life partners. As an aside, Louisa Rhine had a doctorate in botany, in fact both Rhines did. She is therefore skilled in reporting minutiae, yet cannot really be called a stylist. Something Hidden should most likely be read only by die-hard parapsychology fans who would like to know more about the personal life of this pioneering couple.
