I borrowed this book from a friend, she seemed to think I would enjoy it, and I really did.
I enjoyed this book dearly but I have a lot of feelings about it.

I found the book extremely insightful and enjoyed the emotion that Rabbi Kushner managed to pack into such a small book.

Second off though, this book is written by a rabbi. Remember this. The book goes into detail on Judaism and attempts to deal with the title's question from a Jewish perspective. I don't think that it's bad for a non-Jewish person to read this (it's a good book! anyone can read it!) but just be prepared to face that this comes a from a Jewish perspective. Reading some previous reviews some reviewers don't seem to understand this. Judaism is a completely different religion, culture and even identity compared to Christianity. I'd say that someone who is curious in learning more about the current Jewish contemporary view on death should probably pick this book up.
