This story moves me. Nicole’s journey contains the things that were important to her - her friends and family, the memories, the sights and smells from her young life. I appreciated that her palace encompassed everything that anyone could ever want. And I thought that would be the end of her journey. Alas, I was mistaken.
This sounds like an emotional story, but one I would really enjoy. Thanks for the excellent review!

While I've been fortunate enough to not know anyone - old OR young - who's passed away from cancer, this still sounds like an entrancing, if sad, story, and I'm really curious as to what happens to Nicole after she passes over... Thanks for the lovely and heartfelt review.

Nice review thank you. Although the tittle of book sounds comical to me trying to imagine how pigs can fly not knowing the review's content is about a killer disease cancer. At end of the review sounded sorrowful and the emotional readers will have atearful read. At the moment i can't read the book but i will keep in mind for future.

The story seems to be quite interesting, and fascinating as the main character of the story is Nicole a young girl dies from cancer. And the story begins from here that is after her death.

Reading the sample made it difficult to figure out exactly what was going on, but it’s nice to get a good feeling for what was happening in the story with the official review.

Great review, you seem to have really enjoyed the book. However, this isn't my kind of book.

What a lovely review for this story. I can see that it was a very moving experience for you and imagine that it may touch others in similar circumstances. It sounds like the book has been very well thought out and crafted together superbly. The thought that it can help provide the reader with a sense of peace and comfort is good to know.

I added this book to my not interested in reading shelf, a little depressing for me. But the journey sounds very touching and glad that it has touched you deeply as well as I am sure, many others.

This sounds like a pretty interesting book, intense with lots of emotions. The main character of the story, Nicole, dies of cancer and her guardian angel takes her on a most unbelievable journey to a place prepared just for her. I believe that we will all have our own personal Heaven or Hell. This is the kind of story that a lot people will relate themselves to and it will be interesting to read it. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

This sounds like a heartbreaking yet comforting story. I think those whose lives who have been affected by cancer will want to read this. Congrats on the book of the day! Great review!
