I just finished reading Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons. Can I just say I love this author? He always teaches me something. I liked this book better then DiVinci Code and I really liked that book too. This book spoke to my inner geek and I thoroughly enjoyed the exploration of organized religion vs. science. Sure some of it is a stretch… but it’s a nice escape and was thought provoking at the same time.

I read Five People You Meet In Heaven about a week ago. I give it an average rating. It’s a fast read, but not something that was thought provoking. (If a book doesn’t provoke me to think in new ways or see things from a different perspective, they don’t get five star ratings from me). I appreciate the objective of giving the reader a glimpse at how the author conceptualizes heaven but when I finished reading it feeling unfulfilled. I figure if you think of heaven as gold paved streets and God as a little guy with a white beard holding big books at the pearly gates, you will find this book thought provoking. But if your faith has evolved considerably past that concept, then you should probably skip this book.
