check out his book review
A reviewer, Connoisseur of Good Fiction, 10/14/2007
I am well read, and this book is my new favorite. It has everything I like, but rarely find combined in one novel, so even 420-something pages weren’t enough. At the beginning, the stories of the three main characters are being told separately. Each one is interesting, and things really take off when they meet. I didn’t know how I would feel about the mix of themes—Christian/pagan, gay/straight, action/romance/fantasy—but it works. Some people will have a hard time seeing past the controversial aspects, but I found myself liking the characters too much to be distracted by that stuff. It’s thought-provoking and by the end, I loved these people and felt like part of their crazy family. Despite all of the shockers, the moral came shining through—God loves everybody. This was the first time I ever reread a book because of the way it made me feel about myself.
