A sweet story but heavy on both repetitions and religious content that doesn't always work. The writing was a bit stiff, especially the voice of the main character. The book very much reminded me of Mister God This is Anna in good and bad ways. Philosophy is a topic I enjoy the author covering a lot more (such as in Sophie's World and The Solitaire Mystery).
