Better than the first

The development of this story took flight. There is a deep philosophy to the story that was hinted at in the first book and in this one just exploded. David took a complex idea and in simple terms have us just enough to let our minds develop an amazing picture. He uses kwea much like George Lucas uses the force as a complex basis, told in a simple yet profound way.

Deep thinking science fi book

I liked the book it has some deep themes. I hope the main character finds what he's looking for. If this book is a metaphor for today then I think he got it right.
