From Amazon.com

A classic novel of love after death, from one our greatest fantasy writers. The premise is deceptively simple: Chris Neilson has died in a car accident, but his life-force--his spirit--is still conscious of this plane of reality. And he is still too in love with his wife, Ann, to completely let go. She in turn does not want to go on living without him, as each regards the other as their soul mate. What Chris will do to get back with Ann after she dies makes for one of the most unusual love stories ever told. Even though the story can be enjoyed as pure fantasy, what makes What Dreams May Come unique is how the author spent years researching the subject of life after death. (An exhaustive bibliography is included to verify this.) And while Matheson admits that the characters are of course fictional, he also states that "With few exceptions, every other detail is derived exclusively from research." Whether, after reading this novel, one believes in life after death is of course a matter of opinion. At least you'll entertain the possibility that, even though we may not live forever, true love can be eternal. --Stanley Wiater --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: What Dreams May Come (Paperback)
This book touched me. Over and over again. Having already seen the movie, I alredy knew what to expect, but I was wrong. The book is soo much better and DIFFERENT than the movie which is great. The story is basically the same outline, but there is just soo much more heartfilled moments in the book u just couldnt capture on film. So much sorrow and sadness and of course happiness. Not a long read, but the amount of feelings u get out of this book just might change the way you think and live your life. It made me reflect on my life and the people in it that I love and take for granted.
Just a powerfull thought and emotional prevoking story, and Im not ashamed to say that I loved it.
totally worth the read.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Interesting Ideas, and well-written, Jui 22 2004
Par Kristin Lewis (Madison, WI United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: What Dreams May Come (Mass Market Paperback)
This was an interesting book for me. I tend to get way too emotional, and I have some issues with the topic of death, so it took some time for me to be mentally ready for this.

It's written in an interesting manner, as if not merely fiction, but a story told to a psychic by one who had already passed on. It is told through the eyes of Chris Nielson, a man who was tragically torn from his loving wife when a car accident took his life. He finds himself dealing with the issues of afterlife. Although Summerland may seem like paradise, what kind of heaven could it be without his beloved wife, Ann, and what will Chris be willing to give up to be with her again?

The author interestingly has a bibiliography, and has studied much on the subjects of afterlife from a variety of belief systems. To me, at least, he creates a world after death that could be consistent with any number of beliefs, and he describes this world in both exquisite and horrendous detail, drawing the reader into scenes of idyllic pleasure, as well as those of a terrifying nature. It's written quite well, and allows the reader to form the images in his or her mind. (I didn't have quite the same images as the movie did - but that's all interpretation - and the movie was amazing and what inspired me to read the book.)

One thing I liked about the style was the short sections (I hesitate to call them chapters). With such a weighty subject matter, it was nice to be able to put it down between sections. While the story was engrossing, sometimes I could only read so much at a time.

Interestingly, I found I only cried at the beginning of the book - when Chris was dealing with his own death. The movie (if I recall correctly - it's been awhile) seems to have rather quickly moved on past that point, onto the more central conflict of the novel. During the movie's interpretation of that conflict, I recall crying quite a lot, yet not while reading the novel.

At any rate, it's a relatively quick read, and I think it's worthwhile too. It opens up whole new worlds of metaphysics and religion that many may not have pondered before. Please take it with an open mind though - if you already have stern, preconceived notions of what is or isn't after death, you might find this book at odds with your philosophies.
