A LOVE THAT TRANSCENDS HEAVEN AND HELL
What happens to us after we die? Chris Nielsen had no idea, until an unexpected accident cut his life short, separating him from his beloved wife, Annie. Now Chris must discover the true nature of life after death.
But even Heaven is not complete without Annie, and when tragedy threatens to divide them forever, Chris risks his very soul to save Annie from an eternity of despair.
Richard Matheson's powerful tale of life---and love---after death was the basis for the Oscar-winning film starring Robin Williams.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I, like others, read this book many years ago after finding it at a second hand book stall. Yes it's not to everyone's liking but it is such a lovely thought that there just might be an afterlife, like the one desciribed by Richard Matheson.
When I found that they were making a film of the novel, I was pleased but very surprised, I never thought they would venture to film a story such as this. I knew the subject would be scoffed at by general cinema-goers but was glad they'd made it. On the whole the film is very much like the book but the ending was such a typical Hollywood nice ending. Why do they always do this to so many book adaptions?
I have since discovered that they did film the books ending originally but thought it wasn't suitable for an average film audience (too downbeat) So they re-filmed it and thats what you see now.. But joy of joys!!! You can get the proper book ending version on DVD....only in USA. Maybe one day they might just think about the poor British people who really would like to see the PROPER book version ending and release it here, on video or any format. (any one who knows more, let me know)
The book, just incredible....

Format:Hardcover
This book is the best I have ever read. It is a journal dictated to a medium by a man who has died. It tells of what lies beyond death. It reads like reality and not fiction and one feels uplifted and hopeful after reading it (which is surprising as it is simply a work of fiction). However it was thoroughly researched and the author has drawn from near death experiences, the amount of research shows and the eternal nature of the human soul shine through and make one feel alive. It will also make you examine your life in the here and now and wonder which of your actions will follow you through to the next life and which are superfluous. An amazing read. RUN out and buy it!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
When I set out to read this book I did so with no pre-conceived ideas or ideals. What I found as I turned from page to page to page was a magnificiently breathtaking, beautifully written 'novel'. I say 'novel' as for me, and those that I have since made to read this book, this is more than a novel. It is an insight into the unknown - a view of the afterlife or of indeed real life (dependant of course on your opinion and thoughts on the book). It is a story that picks you up, grabs your imagination and lets you form your own opinion at its conclusion. A masterpiece. I can, will and do recommend this book to everyone. I challenge you to read this and try not to think...
