A clever story, humorous in places, well constructed and entertaining. What more do you want? ( ) Residents of Coldwater, a town on Lake Michigan, start receiving phone calls from deceased loved ones. Is this proof of the afterlife or an elaborate hoax? It is part spiritual musing, part history of the telephone (Alexander Graham Bell appears regularly), and part mystery. The setup and the first half of the book are well-structured. Albom highlights the main characters, those who have received calls, and their back stories. He brings his background as a journalist to bear in creating realistic media interviews and reactions. The second half is rather scattered and, to me, not as effective. There are a few surprises toward the end. It is intended, I think, to provide opportunities to contemplate faith, miracles, and life after death. Great book for those who believe and who don't believe in Heaven. I was telling my husband the concept was a lot like the book I wrote while on vacation in San Diego a few years ago. He said it's okay that this one was published first because it will open doors for lesser known writers to follow on the same trend. I guess I need to think more marketing and sales and less concept and originality. Either way, it's definitely a book that will make you laugh and cry! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
