GoodBookStall Review:
Not a conventional religious book at all. Nor a conventional picture of heaven! But so what - for followers of One who reckoned heaven to be like mustard seed, leaven, treasure in a field? This is a lovely exercise of the author's imagination as Eddie "Maintenance" from the fun fair begins beyond the end of his life to understand its significance. He is, and we are, reminded that "No man is an island", and the idea that intrigues you the moment you light upon its title, lingers long after you have read the book, as you continue to ponder the wonderful inter-relatedness of human existence.
