As Cecelia lies dying of a form of childhood cancer, she is visted by the Angel Ariel. Together they discuss what it means to be human, what it means to have a soul and how humans and angels differ. This is a sweet and sad book, although it is a bit too religious for my tastes. It didn't really come close to Sophie's World.

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.

My friend force me to read this.. I'm not a book worm, in exam I only used my stock knowledge kind'a lazy.. but somehow I don't know why I grab this book with out thinking.. I'm not interested in books without pictures or colored one.. When I was a child my father bought me fairytales bookz as in always... Colored, few words and with pictures easy to digest of my imagination. Same as the book of fables until highschool. When I was in my college days I preferred to read Reader's Digest I love

I've returned to this novel many times. It used to be one of my favourite reads in childhood and I still adore it. I can't imagine anyone not liking this book.

I've never cared for novels that are really a dialogue between two individuals to get across the author's philosophy or viewpoint. Perhaps I'd have felt differently if I could've read this when I was young.

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

This was my favorite book throughout the last years of "barneskolen". I must have read it at least seven times. It was just beautiful. Too bad none of the Taylighters aside from Nico and I (who I assume has read it, too) can get the chance to read it.EDIT: Found the English translation. It's called "Through a glass, darkly". Read it!
