mildly entertaining.

I read this in two days. This is a very popular book. Easy to read. Lots of words that sound real pretty together but what does it mean? I didn't find it very satisfying...for one thing I think the view of "heaven" represented here was extremely limited. The icicles at the end held some substantial redeeming value. A solid event...thank you very much. I dont like to grope around much for a moral lesson in a book , but I'm sure there is one in here somewhere. I did read it to the end, but I am a very patient person.

lots of people like it tho, so i'm reposting it.
