It makes you think. Along the lines of the advice to

“think of how you would like people to think of you at your funeral”

I thought this book was a very good read…I think anything that gets us thinking about Heaven is great!

I just finished listening to the audio version of this book last night. Congrats to the author for reading his own audio version and doing it well. Shame on Hyperion for adding sound affects and music to dramatize an otherwise good narration. This is a book not an audio play people!

I agree with catalive’s comments on the books saccharine and sentimental nature. I’ll add contrived to that list. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a nice story, but it just doesn’t ring of truth. Yes, I know it’s fiction. It just doesn’t have the believability factor that makes even fantasy feel real.

It was a bit saccharine & sentimental, but very nice reading anyway.

this book TORE ME UP. a loving testament to the author’s uncle, it was reassuring to think that it’s possible that my recently departed grandmother had five people waiting for her arrival. a simple story that affirms that we are all connected.

I was on an airplane when I was reading the end of this book. I was sitting in a sea of people fighting back the tears. This was a very moving book.

This is a very moving story
