cheap consolation and waste of paper If your life is miserable and you think that reading about a yet more miserable life would make you feel better; than maybe you might enjoy this book. I first felt attracted to this book by the title, thinking that a direct approach to whatever happens when one dies could be interesting. Wrong. This book made me feel depressed from the start and it just got worse and worse. It describes the life of the main character in a patchwork of bad recollections; cheap spiritual advice is then thrown in, all against a background of fantastic descriptions of heaven's scenery. Instead of inspiration the main character's life just gave me a depressing example. Of course many people don't have much of a choice but shouldn't one try to make his life better and happier instead of enduring it bitterly 'til the end?? What does the author inspire us to do? Follow a sad path with patience and get rewarded with a stupid explanation of what it meant in the end?? Please... The main character's apathy is frustrating. Ok, lead an honest life but DO take control and please try and enjoy it! Moreover, the good part of this book's message could have been written in 5 pages, the rest is a waste of paper.
