![]() ![]() By itself, I have no problem with an author doing this. ![]() Matheson did a lot of research for this book about the nature of afterlife, which he references in a bibliography at the end, and he uses this middle section to basically deliver what he feels the afterlife must be like. Once Chris reaches heaven, however, I was very surprised to find the book bogged down over the course of the middle section of the novel. These opening scenes are classic Matheson, very tightly focused on Chris, very fast moving, and with a tense and thrilling atmosphere. Being a good man, Chris eventually finds himself in a place that most readers will recognize as heaven. It begins by chronicling his journey from death into the afterlife. The book is told from the point of view of Chris Nielsen, a man who has just died. ![]() So naturally I decided to finally read it. I’ve loved everything I ever read by Matheson, but had never read What Dreams May Come. ![]() I love this movie, which is based on the novel by Richard Matheson. After the death of Robin Williams, I thought about his movie What Dreams May Come. However, when I find that a movie I like is based on a novel I haven’t read, I often find I like the novel. I’ve often been disappointed by a movie based on a book I like. ![]()
