Thanks for the good review! This sounds interesting, and I like a book that causes one to think. Light-hearted reading is ok sometimes, but I'd rather have my mind engaged.

I must admit, I sometimes judge books by their cover and this one intrigued me. After reading your review, it may be something I pick up. I'm big on fantasy and scifi so I'm hoping that this may bring me into a different genre. This book definitely seems like it would draw me in. Thanks for the great review!

The cover intrigued me. I didn't think the eye fit the narrative until I started reading. It fits. The eye is complex and so is the subject of this book.

I'm not sure if someone asked this or not, but I'm curious. Can you get this book lent by the Kindle Owners Lending Library, or is the offer just for Kindle Unlimited?

First of all let me congratulate you on your wonderful review! Before reading the review, my first impression was that this book would have a lot of science fiction, more so in the form of aliens. However now I see that the book is more earthly than that yet very complicated in its message. Perhaps what intrigued me the most was the part where you said that it does not seem to promote a particular religion or party. Once again congratulations and thank you for your review!

I love the cover of this book. I think it is "eye-catching" (hehe no pun intended) :wink: Great review too. It was succinct and gave me just enough to really want to read the book and find out what happens. I plan to get it and read it soon. I will post with my thoughts soon!

Latest Review: To Paint A Murder by E. J. Gandolfo

Post by bookowlie »

I started reading this book a few days ago and am up to Chapter 7. It's a unique and interesting story so far. I really like the main character, Leah, and her sister who is very protective of her in the presence of others. Dr. Marcus, the attending physician, is the perfect blend of science and religion in a person.

Is there any way to put this thread (or a shortcut to it?) into the BOTM section as well. So everyone knows that they are all related topics?
