I adore this book. It has completely changed my perspective on heaven and goodness and submission to God's will. I love spending time to ponder what I see of myself in the characters. It's made me a better person and I'm convinced it has something for everyone.

A later review: I still love this book and the lessons it teaches, despite never having really believed in hell. I'm not saying I agree with every theocratic idea here, but each scenario is very thought-provoking in a helpful, motivating way.
