MWSA Review
FE Taylor’s book titled Heaven: The Other Side is a picture book for adults on the topic of death, dying, heaven, and the afterlife. The book is a compilation of sayings and expressions of sympathy offered at viewings, memorials, and in obituary columns. The black and white illustrations are clear and well-done. Perhaps those reading this book could find comfort in coloring these pictures.
Heaven is meant to be comforting assurance for the reader as to what lies ahead. I understand Mr. Taylor's thoughtful premise but feel that occasional use of scripture substantiation would have given more weight to his words.
Congratulations to FE Taylor for undertaking the production of Heaven despite having dyslexia.

Author's Synopsis
This book illustrates a view of life after death through the eyes of a dyslexic. Among the many symptoms of dyslexia reading comprehension becomes difficult when the meaning of words are visualized before they are placed in context. Visualizing the literal meaning of words makes metaphorical understanding challenging. Experiencing several dyslexic symptoms the author illustrates how he views Heaven from the sentiments of loved ones left behind.
