This book is now a major motion picture. I read the book before I saw the movie. The book and the movie has a lot of things that are different, but it is a really good story. I would reccomend it.

'Just Like Heaven' is the first novel for Marc Levy, and is now a film with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo. If Marc were to release another book I'm glad I would consider it having read this book really quite quickly in a day. Even when you get to the end of the reasonably short chapters I found myself reading on, which is a very good sign in terms of readability. I'm sure the film will be brilliantly portrayed on screen better then the book. There really is nothing wrong with this book. It tackles an intriguing subject of human's continuing to communicate with people who have died and crossed over or just about to in a coma. The book doesn't really answer, if at all what would happen if someone you loved or didn't know came back, what would you do with them to ease the hurt like I'd hoped. It's about a girl called Lauren who goes to a young man called Arthur wanting her body back so she wouldn't be in limbo.

From the very start it is clear that Marc has done some impressive research when it comes to medical conditions and their explanations. While it seems impossible that something like this could really happen, it might be quite neat if it did. I found the book important for me to read and I am so glad they touch on making love, and how might that be possible when concerning a spirit. It's really just a sweet little love story and worth the read. I am a fan of Reese Witherspoon's films so I try to read as many movie related books like this, as I can before the cinema begins showing them to the public. I got to the end of this book Christmas Eve 2005 before it's release Boxing Day. I'd be more then happy to read other books like this to see how they differ in the future. An enjoyable read I hope others will find meaning in however you come across.
