My friend Shelly recommended I read this book and I trust her so I purchased it and I finally got to it this past Feb 2009.  I have to say it was quite interesting, I was expecting a religious, preachy novel about hell and damnation but I was surprised to be actually, totally into it while I was reading it.  The ending let me down because he did such a fantastic job of leaving it up to the reader to believe what they wanted to believe happened.  Then at the end, he explained it….at least that’s how I felt after reading the last Part….having somewhat of a medical background it all made sense.  I didn’t want it to make sense; I wanted my imagination to continue to ponder everything I had read and I loved having that feeling of ethereal wonder and spiritual introspection……this text made me question my beliefs.  Maybe I’m just showing how incredibly inept I actually am but I didn’t get the purpose of the ending.  I truly enjoyed myself and thank you Shelly……got any other great suggestions?  I passed the book on to a friend as the epilogue suggested I do and I’m writing the review here as the prologue suggested I do……I guess I’m doing my part to start the “movement” that they are hoping for.  ha ha ha.  It’s worth the read either way.
