So what is it about? This is the follow-up to 'The Shock Of Your Life' where three people died and it explained what happended after death. Now Dan has been given a second chance and this book is all about it.
Who is it for? This book is aimed at teenagers (especially as that is the age of the characters) however, it is a book most people would find helpful. The way it talks about most of the awkward questions have when searching about Christianity, i.e. suffering, other religions etc.
In some ways it’s a great book for people who are searching to find out if Christianity is real or not. But also useful if you have friends who are searching, so you can helpfully answer some of their questions.
Does it do what it says on the label?

The label doesn't really say much. "Dan is back. Back from the Dead. Now there'll be trouble".
It does however cover the issues that coming back has brought with it. (Read 'The Shock Of Your Life' to know the full story of what happened when Dan died)

Enjoy or endure? Enjoy. I found I couldn’t put it down. Not only did I find the answers to the questions and the discussions useful. I also wanted to know how much of a difference it was going to make to Dan’s friends and if knowing the facts they would believe or not.
Any other comments? This is a great book, but I did find it helpful having read 'The Shock Of Your Life' first to get the context better, but can be read easily on it's own.
