Afterlife [Paperback]

Guy Smith (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 12, 2009

After death, one soon discovers that every theologian was right. The afterlife offers too many inconvenient options including the chance at reincarnation, a boring existence as a ghost, the ultimate demise of oblivion or a short walk into the great unknown on the other side of The Light.

AFTERLIFE is a humorous yet tragic tale that forces everyone rethink their postmortem prejudices. If you think life is frustrating, try death.

"Afterlife delivers a story crawling with heart, humor and hope. Packed with a cast of characters who surprise with insights, integrity and insults, this book made me more curious about life's after-party. We can all hope that Guy's vision can light the way, because we'll be laughing and learning on that path while we wait for our turn at care that's critical."

This review is from: Afterlife (Paperback)

Guy Smith's story of a newly dead ghost's travails is told in such a witty way that it seems impossible there could be any poignancy to the book. But on the contrary, it's a sort of Texas-style, stiff-upper-lip, telling that attempts to mask, but can't hide, a very moving and vulnerable story. Sounds just like how we often try to gloss over the most profound issues and challenges in life. And it is just like that. Funny and moving, it's a great read.

I enjoyed reading the book Afterlife by Author Guy Smith [...]It was a fun read, great writing style, yet hugely thought provoking. It sent me off on a Google search of "Purgatory" a term I recollect from a past life (jk) as a Catholic and brings a new perspective to the saying "Walk towards the Light".
