I consider it a good sign that the contents came across to you, as the reader, as well-researched and realistic. I can't wait to give this a try. Thanks for the review.

I have read a novel by Coles before and thoroughly enjoyed it. Perhaps I'll give this a try, too :)

Sounds like an exciting book, perhaps one of those that could be made into a good movie or miniseries. Great job on this review!

It's a tragic story with complex human relations and a dark side on the religious aspect. I liked the book because of it's touch to reality. Great book.

Wow reading this review makes me intrigues more about the book. It's nice if there's a lot of loop holes in the story. So the readers won't be bored.

I've read Coles before, and I know how good he can get when he taps into that Franzen vein. Great and very thorough review, thank you!

Sidenote: the blank pages between chapters might be because every chapter in the novel always starts on an odd numbered page so, depending on what page the last chapter ended, a "filler" page might be necessary for formatting. This is not a completely atypical style of formatting *cue "The More You Know" jingle*.

Thanks for the review. When I started reading, I thought "how unconventional this book sounds", but after reading a few more lines, I understood why you rated it 4 out of 4 starts. It indeed sounds engaging.

Thanks for sharing!

The title of the book seems it is a book for enlightenment, i am a big fan of religious and psychological books. When you said it is not just about faith it intrigues me....i hope there's no too many dramas in this book, it drains me.

Coles has several other works. He is one of my favorite authors. I've linked my reviews to some of the books:
