Query: Three-fourths of book

The first three-fourths of this book is a fairly readable, fairly interesting summarization of previously published accounts of Marian apparitions and research done on near-death experiences. Much of this information can be obtained from the internet and is published here as found on the websites mentioned in the book. However, I was disappointed in the last part of the book--the author basically tells overly detailed family stories that have little "miraculous" content. I really don't need a list of every mundane job the author has ever held. The editor would have been wise to cut the book by 1/4 and stick to the documented miracles and the more spectacular of the personal "miracles" of others reported secondhand by the author (retold from another book that is cited in this one).
