I have always loved the writing of Mitch Albom. I have not been very religious or spiritual but in the past year I have been trying to expand and understand this level of beliefs. The writing had me hoping that Heaven existed rather than what it just being a human created reality.

"This novel will shatter those who are ready for it, ready for Dostoevsky’s courage to plunge into the abyss of human cruelty, and his wisdom at locating what grace there is. This is a novel of ultimate destruction and grace. It has in it the whole lived world, also heaven, also hell."

Top quality once again. This series is just excellent. There isn't as much about Baka and Heaven as I was expecting but this is in no way detrimental to the story. Instead, you are taken back to Baka's life from childhood, through him being a vampire right up to the current day. In this was, you learn more about Heaven and who she is and what her gift is.

You also get the chance to catch up on "old" favourites and enjoy as they all intermingle with each other.

Definitely one of the best series I've read in a while. Can't wait for Book 4!
