    A Mediocre Read

    I have only gotten into it about 30 pages or so. But the format jumps from character to character as the story unfolds, giving it an unjointed feeling. The dialogue is clipped, not how people really talk. Rather in a half-sentence type communication which is usually seen in cop and criminal books. Because of the brief glimpses of each person's experience over and over, I kept forgetting who the people were. It doesn't flow, at least not for me.

  • The First Phone Call From Heaven Rocks

    I love this book and it is one of those that you hate to arrive at the last page. Like a good dream, you wish it would go on and on. An easy read and a pleasant experience. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes to read from ages 12 on up. Two thumbs up!
