 Not for me Mar 26, 2009
By KATHLEEN
"ithinkwereallbozos.com"
Reviewing this book is somewhat uncomfortable, because in a sense one is reviewing the lives of the author and his family. Unfortunately, I found it to be a mess. It purports to be a series of lessons sent to the parents of a boy who died as a teenager, things he has learned in the afterlife. All I could think was, if the afterlife is this boring and tedious, I don't want to go there.

It is up to the reader Jan 28, 2009
By Marilyn Dalrymple
"MaLing"
I'm having a difficult time deciding what to say about this book. My problem stems from the fact that I have a difficult time with the concept that someone who has passed over, is able to communicate with those left on earth. It's not that I dispute what authors Ricardo Petrillo, Claudio Petrillo and Silvia Knoploch say - to them, what is, is. I am obviously the one left wanting in the belief department.
Twenty-year-old son, Ricardo, died after an accidental fall. The book relates his experiences on the other side and begins his experiences in that realm in a hospital setting. This is not how I envisioned heaven. My thought is that once you are there, you become a "pure," faultless and whole being. I think this is one reason I was not able to suspend my old thought patterns long enough to read this book.
Much of the book is written in poetic form. Descriptions of life on the other side seem more concrete for some reason, when written this way. This is a beautifully written volume and, as I read in other reviews, it is comforting to those who have lost loved ones. That seems to be the importance of this book. It comforts some who are grieving. That's important and certainly worthwhile. If I find the concepts the book offers difficult to believe, that's my problem.
Can I recommend this book? I think whether or not a reader would enjoy this volume is purely up to the one doing the reading. Not much help, I guess, but I feel this is true.

Poorly written book by distraught parents of a dead child. Jan 09, 2009
By BeagleGrin
Poorly written book by distraught parents of a dead child.
This book was obviously written by very distraught parents who are convinced they have come to terms with their son's death. I don't think this is possible, so WHY they chose to write a book with the death so fresh is beyond me. This child just died in 2005. To me, this is "fresh"
Anyway, the basis of this book is that spirits remain on different levels and progress as they evolve spiritually.
The son communicates to his father afterward about continuing his education, and carrying on life as normal, living kind of in a "dorm" and carrying on earthy functions, like EATING.
The spiritual journey in this book becomes a dull read after a few pages, then in the second part of the book a total bore of writings by a dead child. Or, probably more accurate, the boring ramblings of a distraught father desparately clinging to the hope of hearing from his boy once more.
 Comforting! Life continues beyond the grave! Oct 10, 2011

There are so many religions that believe in life after death, or better, life after life. Those who blunt deny it must have not gone far and beyond looking for answers. History shows that "different" causes panic and denial. Humans are afraid of change and that's a fact. Those who already found and experienced the other side will enjoy this book. Very reassuring and touching! Who wouldn't want to know life does not end! It's a new beginning! And knowing your loved ones are right there with you, waiting and helping you on your own journey is a blessing! We can deny as much and as long as we want to, but inevitably we'll all get there in our spiritual evolution and growth!
This book was great! Specially hearing how the home studies of the Gospel can not only benefit us, but also those still lost in the other side! A+++!
Couldn't even get through the book Jul 17, 2010
By M. McQueen
I thought I would find this book interesting, since it claims to be written by parents from the perspective of their dead son who is communicating with them after his death. I found the writing to be so bad and boring that I could not make myself finish this book for the life of me.
I would not recommend this book unless you're having trouble falling asleep.
