There were so many things I enjoyed about this book, but there were also things that I found a little frustrating (more on that later). The protagonist, Greg, is an unique individual who has been gifted with “viewings”. He sees current events that are happening and uses his gift to help prevent tragedies. Greg soon discovers the origin of his abilities and his greater purpose.
The author's strongest points are showcased when describing the “viewings”. It takes real talent to not only make non-dialogue enjoyable to read, but to also steer the reader into perfectly visualizing what the narrator is experiencing. The author tends to change points of views from one character to another quite often. Done incorrectly, this can be cumbersome, but P.S. Winn makes this extremely seamless for the reader.
The only issues I had with the novel is that some of the dialogue seemed forced. (I am thinking mostly of the interactions between Greg and his childhood friend). I also didn't fully believe that Greg would accept his purpose and training so easily. I think it would have been more realistic and a better read if he struggled a little more.
Overall, this was a solid read for me, and I enjoyed it immensely.

This is the first time that I have read anything by P.S. Winn. I thoroughly enjoyed the book which focuses on a 32 year old man who has “viewings” or more readily understood, “visions” of things. He has repeatedly seen an old barn, but while he feels it is a place that he knows, a place that could be significant to him, he cannot make a connection.
He also catches snipets of things that are happening in real time—some just seem to be cursory glimpses into stranger’s lives, but at times he sees things that are devastating. He confides in a friend in law enforcement and is able to help solve cases with information that he can focus on in the vision—the name of a street, part of an address on an envelope.
Then he has a vision that reaches into the future and the person he tries to warn does not pay enough attention. The results are tragic and leave Greg feeling alone and frustrated. One day he decided to go through his departed mother's belongings that he had left in boxes after her death. There he finds a clue that eventually opens a door that triggers unimaginable things in his life.
This book has a strong paranormal element and I really enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed this short novella by a fine author. I have read a number of her works and they are all good. This tale of folks from another, parallel planet, helping those of us on earth who care to save our planet is not exception to the rule.
The story commences with a "viewing" which discloses the whereabouts of a kidnapped child. It leads you on to a confrontation between a father and son, an acceptance of a mission by the son, and his falling in love.
The book, as usual with this author is very well written, has few errors and very few editing problems. The story is well developed if short and the characters are well developed and very likable. I have used many superlatives to describe the abilities of the author. Again the book Viewings merits more plaudits. I will not, as usual with my reviews, tell you all the story or anything of the ending. You must read it yourself to learn those things.

I loved this story. P.S. Winn is a phenomenal story teller. The story is about a quiet, reclusive man, Greg, who see's images, usually they are nothing other times they're linked to crimes. He finds an open minded police officer who gives him a chance. Together they solve a few crimes and save lives. But the real mystery is the barn in Greg's viewings.
There are a few plot twists that kept me anxious to continue reading. Each character is nicely developed giving richness and believably to story. The final twist sent me sailing into something I didn't expect.
Another well written, curious P.S. Winn tale.

This was an unusual story, but P.S. Winn's stories tend to be unique each in its own way. The viewings is tale about Greg with the turquoise eyes. He has viewings. Greg has brief glimpses of things and is even able to help the police. But one viewing keeps reappearing and troubling him - the inside of a barn. His life is on a fairly even keel until he actually finds the barn that flashes through his mind. Then his whole world turns upside down. P.S. Winn has done it again. Bravo!

This book was a wonderful read. Greg sees things that he calls viewings. Follow along on this adventure that takes Greg and his friend between earth and a parallel universe. Read the adventure as Greg comes to grips with his what can be viewed as a gift or a curse. I highly recommend this book.

This book joins a few of the ideas in novels this author has previously written.
P.S. Winn joins the supernatural with a bit of science fiction and also a romance that joins this world and another close by. Follow Greg, a man who is able to see viewings and uses his ability to stop crimes as he discovers his viewing of a barn is going to be one to change everything Greg ever knew about not only our world, but about his life and where it is going. This novel is an adventure I think readers are going to love and remember a long time after the last page is closed.
