Judgment Of Books Through a Glass, Darkly

Okay, I'm crying. This book was so precious. I don't really know what to say. There are too many thoughts in my head right now. Being a human really is remarkable.

Jostein Gaarder is one of my favourite authors and I admire him deeply for bringing philosophy closer to children and writing young adult books that deal with so many difficult and profound ideas. This book of his is no exception, although I have to admit it was a bit too religious for my taste. I consider myself a religious person, but regardless of that, I think the book should have been more open about its ideas of the afterlife, more mysterious and vague. Apart from that, the story itself -

It's by Gaarder, it's philosophical.This is Cecilies story. Shes a young girl who was faced with terminal cancer. We meet Cecilie at Christmas time, when her time on Earth is about to end, and follow her secret meetings with Ariel, an angel with sapphire-coloured eyes that comes to guide her to the other side.Its a short book, and once again Gaarder raises questions for us to ponder about. Hopefully, we'll all have improved ourselves a little by the end of it. Or, in the least, we'll be willing

Can you blame me if I want something less, well, divine from this story? It is Josten Gaarder's first book I've ever read, and I don't feel like reading her other book. It was a good read, but I was bored and I wasn't feeling anything when I read this.What helps me through is my curiosity to Cecilia and Ariel's ending. But then again, the whole book made me think some stupid questions like, "hell, what in the world is Cecilia thinking?" or "what is she doing?" or worse, "why is she such a grim

So there's an angel and a sick girl who discuss heaven, creation and earth while sneaking out into winter nights ... if you haven't read Jostein Gaarder before that must've seemed pretty strange. Also, if you haven't read Jostein Gaarder before you're missing out on something wonderful. As with all of his books he writes children like he is one. There's a beautiful innocence and curiosity about his protagonists that you can easily get carried away with. He's also very fond of philosophy but in

"Did you know that something can be so nice it almost hurts?" Because you can't run away from your own souls. You can't bite your own tails. Or perhaps that's exactly what you do: you bite your own tails until you shout and scream in fear and terror."Flesh and blood are no more than earth and water, after all. But God has breathed some of his spirit into you. That is why there is a part of you that is God".. The book has aroused that inescapable feeling of being lost in my ignorance.I felt like

"Did you know that something can be so nice it almost hurts?" Because you can't run away from your own souls. You can't bite your own tails. Or perhaps that's exactly what you do: you bite your own tails until you shout and scream in fear and terror. The story was about the everyday conversation between an Angel and a sick little girl. This was very touching, very soulful and beautiful. It touched me and was in awe. It kind of made me sad in the end though. It was all about life, death and
