Thanks for the review. It seems that this book did prove to provide some thoughtfulness into you in order for you to still give it 4 stars even though there were some obvious errors. I'm not sure how I would feel about the contents in the book, but it does sound like something that many may enjoy.

This isn't a typical book I would normally purchase, but I really enjoyed your review and being that it isn't very long, I think it is worth the read! I have downloaded it. I think this is going to be super engaging and quite interesting! Thank you so much!!!

Latest Review: "That Place of Knowledge" by Philip Alan Shalka

Post by Ljessup »

This sounds like my kind of book! I love anything that makes me think, and to have it be in something I absolutely adore to do, read, makes it that much better. I was laughing aloud at your bit about having a crush on the character. That is when you know the book is great! Thank you for the review and I will definitely have to check this book out! Well done!

This sounds intriguing and thoughtful, and definitely the kind of book to elicit a few "hmmms" from the reader!

I love novels that make me wonder "hmmm" and question the systems of the world. From the cover, plus the title I honestly thought this was a non fiction type book, but I like that the author used a great narrative to pose the questions he wanted to, to the world. Thank you for your wonderful review!

I am looking forward to reading this. The fact that this book will make you think about religion fits into my life right now where I have already been thinking about religion.
The interesting characters is always a plus.
P.S. I like the eye on the cover it caught my attention right away and I knew this would be a book to try, because sadly I do judge a book by its cover.

I'm definitely getting the "thinking" part and the "hmm?" production, what with all the religion and philosophy elements. I'm not sure that I understand where the "thriller" part comes into play.

I don't really like to read any books that have religion (or God) involved in the story line, as in my personal beliefs, I do not believe there is a God who is involved with our lives. Basically, it would take me going through an experience like the main character in order for me to believe it. Perhaps for that reason I might enjoy this book. Something to think about. See, it's already making me think and I haven't even read it yet! Great review!
