I bought this in Rotorua, the first in the display of Whitcoulls Top 100 List that I had not yet read.
I had heard about the movie-in-the making, and was not sure that I would like the book but did thoroughly enjoy it. The characters made sense, as did the concept of life-after-death that is central to the plot. The idea of an "intake counselor" in heaven took me by surprise, and I loved the way that the younger brother grew up after the early loss of his big sister. Now that I love the book, I don't know whether I will ever want to see the movie!
