i just read this book.
elseswhere is an amazing book that i accidentally stumbled upon at the school's library. this book is one of those books that capture your attention from the start to the end. well actually i was extremely amazed by this book.
my class was brought to the library to borrow a book for reading for the june holidays. basically i was like heck it, books from the library are extremely BORING !! well i was chatting with wayne at some corner of the library and the title of this book captured my attention. so i took this book and read the synopsis and well it sounded interesting, so i started reading and ignored wayne haha. ( book trance can't blame me for that =P)
well i didn't borrow the book immeadiately. i dont know why, i just didn't feel like borrowing, but there was this panging feeling in me that went like go borrow that book you moron, you're missing out on one heck of a book. so well i went to borrow it and wa lah behold the sheer beauty of the content.
this book is extremely amazing, and as the compliment for the book said, " so convincing you find yourself wanting to read the book backwards when you've finished" amazingly true enough. this book is so comforting, it makes me re-think about death.
the story begins with the main character dying and she living her life on ELSEWHERE which is the place we people on earth call heaven, or the sky or whatever we call it. so basically like a normal person who just lost a close relative, she misses her family and everything and well. then she learns what she's doing affects her family who's alive. well basically read the book its uber-nice.
splendid is what this book is
