"I really enjoyed the entire story that the book focused on. I am a Christian and the personal experiences that were described by Kevin and Alex Malarkey were truly invigorating. I fell in love with the family as I read through the tragic events they encountered, from the accident to Alex's recovery. I believe this book is open to all audiences, religious or not, because it is a truly inspiring story. This book is so emotionally demanding and it will completely consume you.

Throughout this you are able to see how Alex made it through his car accident with the strength of God. You will be amazed by how much God has helped Alex and his family.

"The book I chose to read over the summer was //The Boy Who Came back from Heaven//. I enjoyed how genuine the author was and how easy it was to follow. Some things to warn the reader about would be it's a very controversial topic on religion. The book talks a lot about the Bible and God, so if that isn't a topic you're interested in, then I wouldn't recommend the book. The book is also quite sad. But other than that, the book is a very good read." ~Emma Hughes (GCHS junior, 2014)

"This book was a very good read, and it was eye opening. The book is very religious, but awe-inspiring. Alex, one of the authors, tells of his experiences after being in a horrible car accident with his father, Kevin. Alex was in a coma after the accident, and when he wakes, he gives a vivid description of what Heaven is like. The book is a story of miracles, for believers and non-believers." ~Cynthia Hester (GCHS junior, 2014)
