"Elsewhere" at times was interesting. Once you got past the initial discovery of what Gabrielle presents as the afterlife, the story is very predictable and slow. I found myself rolling my eyes several times during the book thinking to myself, "This elsewhere place sucks." What kind of heaven is pointless? What kind of heaven doesn't differentiate between those who have lived their life doing good and those doing bad? Gabrielle's story tells us that it doesn't matter what we do in life, because there are no consequences! Run over a little girl.... never get caught, steal money from your grandma..... then steal some more, break the law..... get a boyfriend. What exactly was the moral suppose to be? Where is God???? The worse part was that life was NOT eternal because even though people get sent back to earth when the reverse aging reaches infancy, they don't remember who they are! They get sent back to earth and lose everything and have to start a new life. I was generous with two stars because I did find the reverse aging and the 6 year old sailors entertaining, but I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
