The book, published in 2010, purported to describe what happened when the aptly named Alex Malarkey went into a two-month-long coma following a car crash that left him mostly paralyzed.

Malarkey, who was 6 at the time of the accident, claimed that he spent those two months in heaven, chilling with angels, listening to music, and hanging out with Jesus, according to the book's description on Amazon.

With a little help from his father, Christian therapist Kevin Malarkey, Alex turned his experiences into a detailed memoir, which promptly landed on the New York Times nonfiction best-selling list.
