About this listen

 What happens to us after we die? Chris Nielsen had no idea, until an unexpected accident cut his life short, separating him from his beloved wife, Annie. Now Chris must discover the true nature of life after death.

But even Heaven is not complete without Annie, and the divided soul mates will do anything to reach each other across the boundaries between life and death. When tragedy threatens to divide them forever, Chris risks his very soul to save Annie from an eternity of despair.

Wonderful, sometimes haunting, thought provoking book. Read superbly by Robertson Dean. Highly Recommend. Enjoy.

It was a nice story. I just couldn’t stand the main character. He views himself as a selfless saviour, which is true in a way, but something about him just doesn’t sit right with me.

Cute story

Loved this book... Spiritual Karma is actually a thing! If everybody read/listened to this book, there would be a lot more kind, decent people walking the Earth :)

Wow

Overall OK, it just feels rushed and not fleshed out enough, I'd have liked it to have been a bit more descriptive. Nicely read.

An interesting story about life after death. A little too much about this experience as imagined by the writer and not enough dedicated to the love story that bonds it together. A promising book just fizzled out into nonsense.

Interesting theme

an absolute must read. it tells us all a message of hope. No dogma just real hope.

life changing wisdom for those who hear.

‘What dreams may come’ is a poignant, profound and ambitious exploration into the afterlife-that is in essence a portrait of true marital love and what it really means to have a soulmate. Akin to all his novels Matheson’s prose is characteristically nuanced- and effortlessly effective, drawing the reader in to his rendition of purgatory, heaven and of course, hell. Furthermore this is brought to life with fantastic narration, and I am left feeling both enlightened and humbled by this novel- highly
recommend.

Enlightenment

Loved the story although not quite the same as the movie.

Not too keen on the narrators voice as too low and sometimes struggled to hear parts unless at top volume or using headphones.

Great story - average performance
