This book is from my own collection.
Summary:
It’s a sad story about a murdered young girl who from Heaven
watches her family deal with her death and how her murder gets away.
My Thoughts:
I didn’t care for this book. This book was very boring. If I
was grading it on it’s boring-ness it would get an A, but I am not. It’s surprising this was on the best seller
list at all. I feel I should be
compensated for the time I lost reading this book instead of reading another
more interesting one.
I did like the father of the dead girl. He never wavered in trying to find out the
truth and wanting justice for his daughter’s death. I can’t say the same for the mother. She just wanted to forget it about and try to
start a relationship with the handsome police office.
This book is mostly likely a fantasy, because we do not know
what Heaven is like. Everyone has a
different perception of what the After-life will hold. I gave this book 2 stars and grade of D
because it started out well, but after the first 2 chapters it plummeted. If you like the book What Dreams May Come,
then I would recommend this book, other than that, I would say stay clear of it.
