soliveri718 's review for:
Just like many of the other reviewers of this book, I too was given this book as a gift. As a devout Catholic, I was intrigued by the story line and was open to reading about a little boy's account of heaven and what he saw there. The basic plot is that Colton Burpo was four years old when he had to have an emergency appendectomy after his appendix burst. During his surgery he is blessed with a trip to heaven which he shares with his family months after his procedure. To be honest, I skimmed through most of the book except for when Colton gives his accounts of heaven. I found the other parts to be somewhat boring and very repetitive but Colton's accounts were uplifting and put a smile on my face. I have always believed in heaven and even though I do not think this book added to my beliefs, it was a quick read and one that I found to be most enjoyable. My favorite piece of the book was actually the picture of the Jesus. To me that picture is a perfect representation of what I always imagined the Lord to look like. Overall, I found this to be a very quick read and one that I did enjoy reading. I do not know if I would recommend it to everyone, I feel like it should be someone's choice whether or not they want to open this one up.
