Some what interesting.
submitted by jenniferahawley on September 26, 2011, 4:01pm
The first several stories really didn't interest me at all. Many of the stories I just plain didn't like at all. But I gave the book a chance and read the entire book. There were several stories that I found interesting and I did like them.
The stories ponder what could the afterlife be like?, what is waiting for us at the end? Each story is very different from the others, so there will be ones that you like, and ones you don't like, some you find interesting and others hold no interest at all. I recommend giving the book a chance, read the entire book. Because each story is unique, and you might miss something that you really like if you don't read all the stories.
Very imaginative submitted by amym on July 10, 2014, 8:48am I really loved this book. The stories are only a few pages long, and each is different than the others. Many of the stories really make me think and most of them made me laugh.
