(My fan went out on my laptop again so I'm writing this from my iPhone. So if I misspell or something...)I loved, absolutely loved this beautiful story. I don't agree with the theology. I'm a Christian. Nuf said bout that. The story reads like a myth or legend, and symbolism abounds for the lives we live. THE POWER OF LOVE. That phrase describes the theme. A man dies and goes to a heaven-like place. He wants his wife to come, but learns she has condemned herself to the lower regions throughWhy did I put off reading this book for so long? That's actually easy to answer. After losing my Dad I thought reading, in detail, about a man dying in a hospital, leaving his devastated family behind, and slowly moving into the afterlife would be difficult for me process. To be clear, losing my Dad absolutely devastated me. The circumstances surrounding his death prevented me from grieving for the better part of a year. We didn't even get to celebrate his life and have his funeral for 10 months
This is a book that has been on my shelf since, well, I got my first bookshelf at age 8. It was one of the many hand-me-downs my mother bestowed to me to get my collection started. For this reason, I may be slightly biased, but I am and will always remain adamant in my love for this book. I read it for the first time when I was ten or eleven, I can't remember specifically, and it was miles over my head at that time. Which is why I am so glad I came back to it now, when my mind can better
Wonderful.......I was entrance by this book.A great book.....Matheson at is best!!!!Powerful written, with insight and guts.....I recommend it to everyone who feels eternity in his heart!!!!Dean:)
After watching the movie and reading reviews that said the book was better than the movie, I was very excited to read this book. However for me, the book wasn't better than the movie. I really wanted it to be, but I found the book cerebral, while the movie was quite emotional. The book is divided into three sections. The first and third sections are a bit too new-agey for my tastes. I enjoyed the middle section the most. But the end was rather preachy. I just don't believe that we are
Also a film starring Robin Williams, this spectacular portrayal of life, death and interconnection is still as timely as ever, a classic tale that any reader can find meaning in.
4.5 starsI feel as if Richard Matheson is a brilliant writer that not enough people give credit to. He wrote I Am Legend, The Shrinking Man (often known as The Incredible Shrinking Man), Nightmare at 20,000 Feet for The Twilight Zone, Button, Button (which was adapted into the film The Box), and there was also this particular novel that touches upon death. While this book was published and released in 1978, many know about the film adaptation from 20 years later starring Robin Williams as Chris
