This book has changed my view on heaven forever. Eddie & I have thought of heaven as a " lush garden of Eden" but this story proves us both wrong. Two things that could be improved: Explain each of the 5 people Eddie meets in heaven a little bit more in depth. And my classmates & I are still trying to figure out what city/state Ruby Pier is located in. Answers to these suggestions/questions would have helped a lot when writing an essay for my 7th grade reading class! I reccomend this book to people of all ages! (Katie,12)

I loved this book. It made me think about my own life, the people in it that and the way I may affect other people. I think what I loved most of all was that the links were not obvious. It reminded me of chaos theory... the butterfly effect. Any small thing we do may have a disproportionate effect upon another person... and we may not even know that person. A humbling thought. I loved, and cried, at the end and yet it was a good and happy ending. I have bought this book for all the people that I know will love it too. It will remain with me always.

This book will be with me always, in my heart, on my mind, surrounding my soul. I never cried so hard reading a book. I can't put into words the effect this book has on me and the talent the writer has. Every person I pass in the hallways at work or in the mall, I tell them to read this book. My life will never be the same.
