I don't believe in heaven. This book though, taught valuable lessons about life and death which make you pause and reflect as you read through.  A lighthearted and fast-paced read. Not my usual cup of tea but I enjoyed the story nonetheless. 
(Brb while I go and give the author's other books a shot :D *disappears*)
