“I liked it a lot. I think Ms. Lafferty's writing is sometimes brilliant, and
this podcast (and the sequel, "Heaven Season 2: Hell") demonstrate that.”

“I first listened to this series years and years ago, maybe 2008? It's a quality story and narrated very well. I'm so happy it's still available to listen to as it brings me such nostalgia to listen to it again. Thanks Mur :)”

“Reminiscent of Neil Gaiman the Heaven series is follows to characters as they meet dead heroes of legend and figure out the conspiracy happening in Heaven. Beautifully narrated, fun and original. Highly recommended.”

“The way the book jumps around makes it hard to follow. Pretty sophmoric in general never really climaxing to anything worthwhile. Bickering silly gods fighting like children is the plot from what i can tell”

“Tried to like this but had to switch off after the girl narrator disappeared and then story got considerably confusing and uninteresting.”

“I originally wanted "noise in the background" while I folded a mountain of laundry but quickly got drawn into the world of Heaven as Mur Lafferty tells it - I'm a big fan of mythological tales being intertwined in modern stories so this was right up my alley. I am on Season 3 currently and simply...”Read full review »

“Late to her books but started with this one and am now hooked on the series. My only complaint would be that they could be longer but still a lot of story in a small package.”

“I want to like it, but I can't. The two characters are supposed to be adults but come off like smarmy twelve year olds showing off their knowledge of mythology. The reader's young sounding voice (yes, i know she is older, but her voice comes off as if she is in high school) doesn't help matters,...”Read full review »

“I was nervous at first because of bad reviews but I really liked it. You get to know other religions and their religions. Also the plot starts to thicken towards the end. It is geared more towards teens but overall, its worth downloading. 4 stars only becaus murr kept tripping up towards the middle.”

“I listened to the Takeover by Lafferty first and enjoyed it so I decided to try Heaven. It's alright. A little juvenile, and she slips up quite often while reading (that's what editing is for!). The male voice actor sounds way too old for a 20-something guy. Too many times we are left hanging on...”Read full review »

“Good concept, poor execution. The story is done in a very juvenile style of writing. I a few podcasts in and couldn't listen to any more. It was the "sex with a god" portion that was just so silly and badly placed that I couldn't continue :p”
