Written very well. However, the content isn't for me. Otherwise a good, engaging read.

I loved this book. It alternated between hilarious and chilling- and at odd moments I found it comforting, too. I think growing up in a faith tradition that repressed questioning and critical thinking made some of us more comfortable with questions that answers, and art is always a good place to work that out. Terrific read. I'm ready for the sequel.

Very well written, a compelling look at the human soul. It will answer non of your questions about the hereafter, but you will be very glad you read it.

A beautiful work of contemplations in love, guidance, human nature and struggle.
