REVIEWS

“'Magical' and 'mystical' do justice to the book, but perhaps the adjective that best suits is 'transcendent.' In other words, I laughed, I cried and I stayed up really late on a weeknight so I could finish the book in one sitting. The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud is that good."
- Patricia Corrigan, St. Louis Post Dispatch

“'The Sixth Sense' meets 'Field of Dreams' in this heartwarming, old-fashioned fable."
- The Washington Post

“Uniquely lyrical ... mystical, magical, and moving.”
- Shelley Mosley, Booklist

“Ben Sherwood is an amazing writer with the rare gift of evoking genuine emotion. THE DEATH AND LIFE OF CHARLIE ST. CLOUD is touching, wise, and full of hope, everything a wonderful novel should be. Read it – you’ll be glad you did.”
– Nicholas Sparks, bestselling author of The Wedding.

“I adored this book. THE DEATH AND LIFE OF CHARLIE ST. CLOUD is one of the most magical love stories I've ever read. In his wonderfully inventive way, Ben Sherwood has written a shining affirmation of life.“
– Sue Monk Kidd, bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bees

"A perfect miracle of a love story. Ben Sherwood is a dauntless writer, taking his readers on a really stunning, amazing ride. He breaks your heart and heals it, somehow at the same time. I found the novel to be almost unbearably wonderful."
– Luanne Rice, bestselling author of The Perfect Summer.

“A deeply romantic yet profound story of one man's journey from death to life. Full of suspense, intrigue and the twists and turns of true love, this is a story that will grip you from page one. In Tess Carroll he has created a real woman of beauty and strength, a woman readers will relate to and cherish. I loved it!"
- Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of the Big Stone Gap trilogy and Lucia, Lucia

“A touching, unique and magical story for anyone who has ever loved, and lost -- and yearned to love again. You won't forget Charlie and Tess, and Sam.”
– James Patterson, bestselling author of Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas

“Loved it, loved it, loved it!! Refreshingly romantic, dangerously good fun, hugely addictive. All too infrequently I pick up a book that is a pure pleasure to read. It has happened to me twice recently and, by a strange coincidence, both books are by the same author. THE MAN WHO ATE THE 747 was quirky, charming and funny. THE DEATH AND LIFE OF CHARLIE ST. CLOUD is even better. Intelligent, moving, and sweetly wise, Ben Sherwood is all set to find his way into the soft heart of American literature.”
– Joanne Harris, bestselling author of Chocolat and Coastliners
