Snatched up to Heavenables,! It is about two girls named Priyanka and Deepika that shared so-called “visions” together, about going to Heaven. After the girls get up from these visions, they tell their parents what happened and Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul, their parents, would try to interpret and understand the meaning of these visions by linking them to their understanding of the Bible.

What I somewhat enjoyed about this book, is the fact that I have never read such kind of book. What I mean is that the ideology of Heaven, in this book, was interesting and how Jemima Paul and Arvind Paul tried to interpret and understand their childer and their visions/dreams was exciting. It got me wanting to understand as well what these visions mean. Also, the parent's relationship with the girls is very strong and they believe them and they never suspect that they might be lying or perhaps playing games.

However yes it was interesting to read, but it also had flaws. At first, I felt like I was reading a diary of a 2-year-old. The sentences didn’t have any structure or meaning. Second, there were many things the author could’ve elaborated more about, for example, the kid's vision was very undetailed. Lastly, What do Priyanka and Deepika think of these visions, do they think they are only dreams or do they believe they are so what prophets? I would like to know what was going through their minds.

I give this book a 2 out of 5 stars. It wasn’t that great. The way this book is written gives me a headache. Some sentences are big font sizes, while others are small. Too many different fonts. A lot is going on on one page. I couldn’t focus much, my eye was going everywhere on the page. It was ‘tacky’, I couldn’t understand what the “quotation was” and what was the dialog.

Overall, I would recommend Snatched up to Heaven! to people who want to learn more about visions, from a Christian perspective, or if you or a relative/friend had a similar experience. You would understand more.
