I thought this fiction book was a good read. I was drawn into the story line quickly and it held my interest through the end. It was a quick read for me, but it is a book I would like to read again and take some time to slow down and take it all in. It also raises a lot of questions and I think it is a great book for a discussion group.  I have friends with very differing opinions than mine. A few think it is poorly written and disagree with with how it represents God. I take it as a great story. It is fiction.
