I read this book for the first time 21 years ago. I was 14 and I was enthralled. It changed my teenage fear of death into hope and beauty. I, too, read it in a rainy afternoon at the library and when I went to buy it, I could not. A movie? Awesome! A re-release of the book?! Incredible! I recommend to ANYONE who has even the slightest interest in life after death to READ THIS BOOK!
A book that challenged my thoughts of mind and soul.

20 years ago when this book was first out in print a friend recommended it. It changed my way of thought forever. It intreged me to search and study this and similar avenues of soul searching. The author changed my life and for this I will always be so very greatful
Perhaps THE most read book in MY library.

I have gone so far as to highlight passages and paragraphs that are of significance to me in my life. I have an almost biblical reverence for this book and find it hard to believe that it is NOT true, the introduction by Richard Matheson, captured my imagination, the book captured my soul. I have recomended and urged all my friends who have lost a loved one to read this book and many have expressed to me a deep appreciation, which I can take no credit for. For me, this book has answered so many questions and eased so many of my worries. If the movie can convey half as much as the book did, I predict a bigger box office success than Ghost. (Which by the was I was convinced Richard Matheson wrote!)
The most memorable book I have ever read.

I checked What Dreams May Come out at the public library and can remember that I started reading it while waiting on my daughter to have a piano lesson. I didn't want to stop when she was finished! She and I were both so impressed with this story of life after death. We both found comfort in it. I immediately tried to find a copy to buy for my own. I was so disappointed to find it was no longer in print. I now admit doing a dishonest thing...I pretended I could not find the book to return to the library and gladly paid for it. It is a much cherished and shopworn paperback book. We were so excited when we saw that there was to be a movie of it. I downloaded the trailer for it which took a long time but it was well worth it. We also figured the book would be re-released and eagerly await a new copy for both of us. It is one of few books that I have loved enough to read twice.
One of the best novels on the subject of death and love

I read What Dreams May Come twice and both times was enthralled with the way the author describes the death and life after death experience. I do however consider it to be one of the best love stories I have ever cried over. It only goes to show that love can indeed conquer the bonds of morality and immorality. I am seeking to find the book as I do not have a copy. I hope the publisher will print it again. I will be first in line to add it to my collection and the first in line to see the upcoming movie.
