This is the most unusual of mystery stories. Love his creativity and writing.

[John Kelley · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting spiritual journey with lots of possible hidden meaning, but the writing was rather sophmoric at best--just not very gripping. There was enough there that I may pick up others in the series at some point. Maybe not on par with "The Shack", but it is nice to have options in the fiction-spirituality genre.
