Through the Gateway

by D.W. Brown

Matt Fowler is a college professor who has seen a member of his immediate family die exactly every five years since he was born. Now, after the death of his brother Richard, he is left alone to discover if the family's five year "curse" is real or just a bizarre set of coincidences. Driven by the possibility that he himself may have only five years left, Matt, a professional academic, explores the nature of consciousness, the physics and perception of time, the source of the sublime and the religious experience, and the limits of science, all in an effort to come to terms with the events of his life. Will he find the answers he seeks or will the family curse get him too?

[Christina · Rating 1.5 out of 5]

i found this book for 1 buck at a library sale two or three years ago and the cover and premise really attracted me, so i got it. i wish i could say i loved this book but i had a tough time with it. the writing was clunky and there were more than a couple spelling errors. the only redeeming part of the book was that the concepts that were brought up were quite interesting, i just wish it was nestled into a more appealing plot/writing style. also... if i had a coin everytime a book ended with 9/11, i would have 3 coins, which isn't much but still a very curious amount
