Title: Thought-provoking
Product review: I read this book never having heard of it, so I had no preconceived expectations going in. In my opinion the book is very well-written and has been hard to get out of my mind since I finished it a week ago. It was very unsettling to experience Susie's death with her. To hear her describe the disposal of her own remains was quite chilling. I felt that the author's depiction of how such a tragedy can tear a family apart was very realistic. Statistics show that a broken marriage often follows the death of a child. However, the most disturbing thing of all to me was the fact that this book followed Susie for eight years in heaven and never once mentioned God. I also find it contrary to what one expects of heaven to feel the longings and sense of loss that she did. None of us know what to expect of heaven, which I believe to be the author's point, but I rather hope for more happiness and sense of peace. It's good to read a book that shakes you up a bit and makes you think.
