This has to be one of the most disappointing books I have read in a long time. Firstly, I did not enjoy the writing style as it failed to really engage me at any time. Secondly, and most importantly for me, I found Todd Burpo's reaction (especially being a pastor) to the whole experience to be totally implausible. There were so many examples of this throughout the book but one near the end that struck me was that he didn't think people would be interested in reading about a boy who experienced Heaven and is able to recount the experienced ?!?! Given his own experience as a pastor, his own keen interest to learn more and the number of people who came to ask questions and learn more after hearing about his son why would he think people wouldn't want to read about?
