          Heaven is for Real is one of the best books I've ever read. It's written by Todd Burpo. This book was very well written and interesting. The book focuses on a young boy and his trip to heaven and back. I recommend it to any Christian but it may not be appropriate for children. 



          This book focuses on a little boy named Colton Burpo, and his parents Sonja and Todd. This book is very realistic by displaying the vocabulary situations. Colton was just a young boy so he doesn't have a large vocabulary. His parents almost had to guess what he was describing about heaven. 



          The author did a very good job making the emotions in this book real and intense. There were plenty of times where the characters got extremely emotional. This was very affective of how I felt because I almost felt bad or was mad about what they were going through. The life lesson in this book was honestly to never lose hope. 



          This book is very interesting, but this is coming from a Christian. It's about a little boy named Colton getting very sick and having a trip to heaven. He remembers everything he sees and pretty much all of it is very fascinating. If they're are in readers scared of dying this book could easily change your mind, it did for me. The main characters are Colton, Todd, Sonja, Cassie, and Colby. It basically takes place all around Colorado. 



         Again this book is one if not the most fascinating book I've ever read. It's a must read to me. It's also an easy read so you don't have to be a big reader to read this. This book is appropriate for most ages but may be offending to some people of a certain religion. This is such a good book that if you ever see it you have to get it. Anyone who gets Heaven is for Real can read it easily and enjoy it.
