Thank you for sharing your reviews! When I read the title, I never would have thought this was about a fictional story of someone who passed away from cancer. This sounds like a heartfelt book. I'll be sure to check it out.

The story seem emotional and encouraging especially to people living with cancer. I will read the book. Maybe I could use the practical tips contained in the book to help and encourage someone. Great review.

Oh! A simple but reflected picture is presented in this book by the author using dead, disease, human and journey. Fries uses fictious emotion to express the circumstance one can manage a tragic situation in a conservative way. The book brings a reflection in the memory of the past event that show a medium where both old and young suite into when thing happen. The book is understandable. It brings to life situation one may die via cancer and cancer can kill when one toil with it. Fries brings death to a level one could understand it nature and it effect. I love to read this for experience. Congratulation to the author. I give it 4 over 4

It sounds like the author is very skilled when writing emotionally poignant scenes. It might hit a little too close to me since my grandma had cancer too, but I am glad it is dealt with well.

This definitely seems like a good read! Cancer is beast for adults as well as children! If one overcomes this affliction. what a testimony! What a story to tell! However, for those who succumb to it and pass on, it is still a victory. How so? The person would have crossed over to the other side of perfect peace. The place of total and eternal paradise.

When Pigs Fly is a book written by Susan Fries. The story was very emotional and engaging. It was a very interesting view on the afterlife and can be use as areminder to those left behind to viw death as more of a crossover then a final sentence no matter how great the loss.

A fictional story about a dead girl's journey after death sounds pretty interesting. I don't think I've ever read many stories like that before. Great review!
Just reading... :techie-studyingbrown: :techie-studyinggray:

'The author gives the readers many things to ponder'. I agree to this point in the 'Official Review: When Pigs Fly by Susan Fries'. 'What happens to us after death?' is the subject of my curiosity and I want to read more about it.

I am still wondering where Nicole went to. This sounds so interesting and quite unique from the other books I have read because of this one bit of life after. Thanks for the wonderful review. I have added this to my 'want to read' shelf.

Thank you for the great review, and for sharing a little bit of your personal life with us. I have only read the free sample of the book, but it seems quite interesting so far. The only issue I have is the quick changes between character points of view, but that is just due to a personal preference of mine.

Is it odd that reading your review made me teary?
As usual, my definition of a good review is one that reveals just enough for me to want to want to read it, without spoiling the book for me. Great job.

This book seems like a very extraordinary read. This topic is one that is very close to my heart as well. I'm curious about the journey Nicole had after her death. The fact that it took you awhile to finish reading it, especially being a fast reader, says a lot about the book's quality in my opinion. I definitely want to read this book someday! Thank you so much for your review!
