This book literally makes you explore the difficult question of what happens after death. I could not put it down once, the entire time I read. Through descriptions of Susie's world one can only imagine what their own perfect heaven could hold.

I'd give this book a 6/10, it was very different and unique, a lot better than the movie but still a little strange. It's not a challenging book to read, very easy read.
