Book Review: Very magical and has wonderful imagery
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book. Can start reading and never put it down.Book Review: Not Bad at all
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the book after I read the great reviews here. The book was up to my expectations but there are some loopholes in the story and I agree totally that the ending was abrupt. The storyline was great with all the details of Heaven that one could possibly think of. But i sincerely think it does not deserve the full mark!Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend lent me this book about ten years ago. I was floored then and rushed out to buy it, only to find it was no longer in print. It's one of those rare gems that should be on everyone's shelf. The movie got the visuals right, but there wasn't a single reference to "Summerland," only to the tired versions of heaven and hell. The scriptwriter made some significant changes to the book, some that improved the story, and others that definitely didn't. Kudos to Matheson for writing the story. It's a winner.Book Review: This book really gets you thinking about the after-life!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book! It was written so well, it seemed so real, like it could be exacly like that in the after-life. It really made me start to think about it. Also the love story intertwined with the whole after- life focus, was so sweet.Book Review: Blather
Summary: 1 Stars
This book was one of the most annoying I've read in a long time. The character Chris was such a whiner! He could not be happy - anywhere - not even in Summerland (Heaven), which seemed pretty awesome. If Chris and his wife were such soulmates, then he should have been more patient and willing to accept the fact that they would be together eventually. All the talk of 'vibrations' and 'spiritual transcendance' was just new age psycho-babble. And Mr. Matheson seemed inclined to describe them ad-infinitum.
I believe in true love, and I do not doubt in the existence of a heaven/hell, but the description of these offered by Mr. Matheson does not ring true.
