Reviews

[Lele French · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book wasn't too bad; I enjoyed the setting & the flow of events. I think I would have appreciated the story a lot more if it hadn't felt 'so' perfect; a lot of things fell into place a little too easily for me & I just couldn't seem to get past that.
Personally, I wasn't the biggest fan of it, but I could definitely see someone whos interests lie around the religious genre or christianity novels getting into this book.

This was a great read. It was fast paced and I enjoyed the scientific details and archeological descriptions. The Christian message and scriptural references were spot on.

3.5 stars is about right for this book. It has enough to hold your interest til the end

As like all early 90's books in Christian fiction "Eden's Gate" is a classic read. Interesting story line and current issues at that time. I wouldn't have said it's the next "Piercing The Darkness" but it'll do.

I quite liked this story, despite its... far-fetchedness. A bit of "in-your-face" Christianity, but in an honest way - not a contrived preachy sickening sort of way. Not a bad read, but not a must-read either.

This book had some very slow parts; but all in all it was ok.
