Review of Snatched Up to Heaven!
Posted: 04 Sep 2023, 09:52
[Following is a volunteer review of "Snatched Up to Heaven!" by Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul.]
The subject of the book "Snatched Up to Heaven" is quite unique and distinctive. However, the book's title can be somewhat misleading, potentially leading readers to believe it's a children's story about heaven and hell, intended to teach these concepts to kids. This angle could indeed be fascinating, especially because the two young girls have described heaven and hell, and the book even includes paintings of these places drawn by children. If the author wants to make a book for kids adding more detailed paintings and drawings would be great idea.
Contrary to its title, the book's actual concept and subject are geared towards demonstrating the existence of heaven and hell for adults. There are several insightful descriptions in the book relating to the Bible and the visions the two girls had in their dreams. It would enhance the reader's experience if the author presented the entire dream in a single story within the initial chapter and then provided more detailed accounts in subsequent chapters with more detailed descriptions and connections to the holy book . This would make it easier for readers to follow along. Organizing the narrative chronologically, such as detailing the events in sequence ("first this happened, and we were there, then that happened, and we saw that"), would also be beneficial. Although the book's title may attract readers from various religious backgrounds, its subject and concept might primarily appeal to Christians, as it predominantly focuses on Jesus and God. In fact , it’s very interesting for Christian readers.
One challenge readers face is distinguishing between the different parts of the dream - whether it occurred in various nights or all at once. Clarifying this aspect would aid comprehension. Lastly, regarding formatting, it's important to note that there are numerous fonts used throughout the book. To improve readability, it would be advisable to limit the use of fonts to just two.
