Book Reviews of What Dreams May Come: A Novel
Book Review: A book that should be read by everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the best I have ever read. It is a journal dictated to a medium by a man who has died. It tells of what lies beyond death. It reads like reality and not fiction and one feels uplifted and hopeful after reading it (which is surprising as it is simply a work of fiction). However it was thoroughly researched and the author has drawn from near death experiences, the amount of research shows and the eternal nature of the human soul shine through and make one feel alive. It will also make you examine your life in the here and now and wonder which of your actions will follow you through to the next life and which are superfluous. An amazing read. RUN out and buy it!Book Review: nice idea, possibly unwriteable
Summary: 2 Stars
I was prepared to stretch my credulity considering this was a book written in the mid 1970s and there was plenty of off wack new age stuff floating around at that time. However, I cannot forgive some of the stiled and cringemaking writing inside it. It's a really nice idea, it's fairly well constructed, but I get the impression that Mr Matheson ran out of ideas or steam or something and ended up taking the focus away from the very thing that made me pick the book up in the first place.
It's not Shakespeare, or if it is, then it's cymbeline.
