A very interesting and quick read. Coincidences are just part of the plan and affects our lives have on one another. A good, warm story, with some turmoil and fear built in, but it does not get bogged down in getting too sappy nor in holding onto a lot of negativity. A recommeded read.

Wonderful. light, easy reading with just the right amount of "leaving it to the reader" to interpt the meaning. I am a catholic and I liked this book a lot as I was not threatened by it at all. It is a must read book so that you can discuss it with all of your friends.

I know this is not a forum to critique other people's reviews, but to be brief, I think Lauren's review directly below this one is rather unfair, and in my opinion, she missed the whole point of the book. The author's view of heaven's 'topography' didn't match her view, and that clouded her from the real message, which is that no matter who you are in this world--- no matter what religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or other beliefs--- you mean something and you've made a great difference. Eddie's journey through the afterlife clearly shows how a depressed, lonely man can grow to realize he matters after all. It sounds like a great message to me, even if the description of the afterlife in it is one I don't totally agree with. Personally, I dont think that should bother any of us. After all, we won't know 100 percent what the after life looks like until we get there, no matter what spiritual belief system we may have.

This book is ridiculous! So much hype is put on this undeserved best-seller. I am a devout Christian and I was stunned that a myriad of Americans could even perceive this nonsense as a possibility for our after-life. Even if this novel is for only entertaining purposes, it wasn't even entertaining... a quick read but not entertaining. The characters in this book are unrealistic and need to be more thought-provoking in order to have a higher sentimental value on the readers. What a waste of time!
A bold, mesmerizing novel about the woman known as "Typhoid Mary," the first known healthy carrier of typhoid fever in the burgeoning metropolis of early twentieth century New York.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
