A review by rachelhelps
Heaven Knows Why by Samuel W. Taylor

4.0

I read this book because someone on the internet called it the funniest Mormon novel ever. I don't think it was the FUNNIEST, but it was pretty funny. I was just thinking that someone should write a book about a "short stay in heaven," and I'm happy that some work has already been done on the subject. I'm not sure how true-to-life the characters are to actual rural Utahns, but the "mystery" of how the main character's grandfather's prophecy gets fulfilled was well-executed. There was even a little serious religious thought about how things that are coincidences can be religiously meaningful.
