The storybook i would love to be trapped in
Image url
Alright i have done a book review on this book before and it is still one of my favourites.
Ever thought of dying?
What happens after you pass on?
This book is one of those books which makes you feel at peace with yourself while reading.
About this book.
Basically the story begins with the main characther dying! Yes dying ! Liz age 15 died in a hit and run accident and she arrives on elsewhere where everything is backwards. You do not grow old, people in elsewhere grow young. Elsewhere is in our view what we call heaven, the great beyond and so on. So in elsewhere, Liz meets her deceased grandma and found her love. Eventually she becomes a baby again and is reborned back onto earth.
Some compliments on this book
"One of the best books i have read in years"
-SUNDAY HERALD
and my favourite compliment
" SO convincing you find yourself wanting to read the book backwatds when you've finished"
-SUNDAY TELEGAPH
Now why would i love to be trapped in this book.
This book made me feel that dying might not be so bad. And how it is to live after death. The question why would be a very simple answer actually.
In the story Liz met up with her deceased granma and not long later her dog. I would love to be Liz so i can meet up with my dad again. Liz had a good fifteen years on earth with her parents and all.
What i would want mostly, would be to spend more time with my Dad.
Getting trapped as Liz in this book would make it happen. I haven't seen him in 5 years, its been really long and i really want to see him again. Spend a day with him. Learn the things he promised to teach me and just knowing that he is fine.
Another reason would be that living in elsewhere would be splendid. Elsewhere is a place where there are no sorrows, no wars, no famines. Everyday goes by peacefully. Do you see that happening now? Elsewhere would be my gateway to peace.
If i were lets say Liz or any other characthers in the book. My worry of losing my memory when i've passed on would not be of issue anymore. Liz's memory was intact and so were the rest of those living in elsewhere.
Going to the observatory deck to know my family is fine would definitely be a daily business when i'm in the book. Writing letters through "a letter in a bottle" would also be done. Except for diving down into the if im right the sea, I doubt i'd go to that extent.

Why put bullshit here?
Why let people know about your life?
When there are people out there who needs the attention the care
When there are people living in slums
When there are the homeless
When there are the destroyed the discared the used
those who shed a tear
those who need a bowl of rice
those who need a hand
Why giggle?
when your smile can be shared
look at them
can you see their sadness behind that ever smiling face
the smile which shows they are contented with what they have
even though what they have
is nothing to what we have
look at us
the frowns
what we have
what are we
to complain
who gave us the right
to insult
to manipulate
to run away
to frame
to despise
to slither
to skewer
to impart
can you hear their pleas
can you hear their cries
for someone to care
can you hear the cry for
PEACE
what is a family without
PEACE
insanity
we tolerate
peace
something we hope for
failure
not tolerated
success
on others people demise
what are we
what are we
what are we
who gave us the rights
to be different
to be superior
i tear for the world
the world
where peace is a
foreign object
a object revered
something
alien
and i tear for the world
for gaia
for her
who needs peace
