UNCONVENTIONAL! CONVINCING!
It may be purely fictional & just a figment of the author's imagination but death is something we all end up to. & knowing that there's life after that is very interesting & scary at the same time. Reincarnation may not be acceptable in all forms of religion, but I believe that one gets what he deserves after life. If you live honorably, there's a place for you to harvest what you sow. If you hurt people, there's also another place for you to either suffer or cleanse. At the end, I believe we will all join God in Heaven (wherever that may be) at the right time.

The Most Powerful love Story I've Ever Read!!
I knew from the start that this book would apeal to my taste. I've always dreamed of a love as powerful as the love Chris and Ann had. Their love caried them through the depths of hell. their experiences could make any reader cry. They were actually each other's soul mates, which is completely amazing. They could actually communcate with eachother and not know they were doing so. Each knew what the other was thinking and loved eachother more deeply than anyone else could love.

timeless classic for searchers
I read this book 15 years ago. It was a borrowed copy and it was out of print at the time. I am thrilled to find it back in print and cannot wait to re-read it. Not many books have remained so vividly in my mind for so many years. It's truly a masterpiece of suspence as you follow the journey of the characters in the afterlife.

'A Powerful force'
I've watched the movie and now I'm reading the book and I must say that the book is a completely different version. I will not give away any details of what the book offers compared to the movie. However, the same concept of the afterlife remains unchanged. The book makes you rethink your view of the afterlife and your existence on Earth.

BEST PIECE OF MODERN LITERATURE EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!
This book is one of best that I have read. This book tranforms you at a level that's unthinkable. If you are dealing with any kind of problems and you aren't able to let go of them, then read this book THEN see the movie; It will kill the faults within your soul and from the remains of the faults, the quintessence of your soul shall rise

Best Book I've ever read!
This is the perfect book for anyone, but especially for those who are dealing with death in any way. This book will change your life. Maybe death is something we should all look forward to instead of fear.

Life Altering!
You will never be able to look at life the same again. So realistic and life provoking, it makes your mind bend. A true inspiration to live and a wonderful story to know. A suggested reading for anyone.
Also recommended: Other novels are Lord of the Flies and Great Expectations.

Don't die without this one!!!
Wow, now that's writing! So death does not change a thing after all... This book is amazing for one reason: even though it deals with a subject as occult as the afterlife it never stops making sense! Beautiful piece! Everyone will find something in it that they will just love.
Also recommended: Love Story by Erich Segal

Awsome!
This has to be one of the best books I have ever read. I have not seen the movie yet, but I am sure that they could never make you feel what you feel when you read this book. There is such a mixture of emotions that you actully start talking to the characters in the book!

Very... thought provoking
Wow. This was one of the strangest books I've ever read. I finished it in two days but its content stays with me even now. Some parts may be rather disturbing, because the realism and depth in the characters and emotions make an unbelievable setting and plot seem very real.

Best love story I have ever read
I loved this book. It had me crying throughout the whole thing. It really shows you what true love for someone is and how far a person is willing to go for that love. I couldn't put it down. I recommend it to everyone.

FASCINATING!
It gives a varied idea of what happens to our souls after death and why. I found it interesting how hell and heaven was delinated into levels, which gives new meaning to 'my house has many mansions', as stated in the Bible, but this book isn't religious in its content. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is interested in life after death.

FASCINATING!
It gives a varied idea of what happens to our souls after death, and why. It also has a romantic twist to it, but it focused more on life after death and on rebirth, or reincarnation, and the choices we make before our rebirth.
A reviewer (shizznik@Sover.net), a teacher and Christian, December 9, 1998,
Superb
The movie was great. The book is 100% better. This is a case where a movie cannot convey the deep feelings and emotions that are hidden in this book. I loved this book! A timeless classic.
