Thanks for the review. The book seems like a fun read based from your post, and this sounds like the book I'd love to read after a good dose of fantasy and action novels. I'll probably keep this title on my watch list. Thanks again.

In the book it discusses the method of how each person is assigned to someone to watch. Whoever that person was thinking about right before they past, is the person that they are assigned too. Jimmy was thinking about her when he past.

I really like your review. This is the type of book I want to add on my reading list. I also like how the author was inspired. You also mentioned that the details about heaven is limited and that is understandable because we humans always get curious about places like heaven. I'm already curious!

I like the fact that it has 112 pages. This is because, I personally struggle when it comes to reading novels and completing them. So I rather start with short books that I can complete in less hours so I can get used to the culture of reading. :D

When I have had so much reality, I would love to read this book. It sounds like a down-to-earth chilled book to read when one wants to distress and just feel good, like you said in your review, Sarah. Thanks for such an amazing and humorous review.

Thank you for this review. It seems like an interesting book, based on what you wrote; however, I'm not quite sure how I feel about the concept of heaven as portrayed in this book. As someone who was raised to believe in a "traditional" ideal of heaven, it seems almost sacrilegious to me to read this book. Once I get my hands on it and read it for myself, I will figure it out.

This books makes me think of listening to my friends, family members and sometimes complete strangers making statements like,
He's /She's looking down on us from heaven or they're in heaven making music for the Lord
. It's amazing what we all think what heaven is like and we may not be that far off from......You can finish the sentence with your thoughts! :o

Interesting review. I always enjoy reading about people's perspectives of heaven and places or things that no one has seen but are believed to exist. I look forward to reading it especially about how angels are allowed to play poker :o :o :o

I was raised the same way regarding "traditional" ideal of heaven, which is why I can take this book as it is, a fun book to read. I do not believe that the author's intention in any way was to make people think that the concept of heaven is really portrayed in her book. It is written to amuse, bring a little laughter to someone who may need it.

In my honest opinion I didn’t like it :( I’m more of a romance type of book reader and this didn’t take the edge :( sorry
