Colleen J. (shukween) reviewed on 5/7/2009 + 118 more book reviews

This book, despite all the buzz, is fundamentally a nice, simple, parable-style tale of one man's hypothetical road to a closer relationship with his God. It is simply and directly told. It's a bit predictable in outcome, message, and morality, but I suppose that for a more literal reader, it is appropriate. As a dilettante in the whole world of theology, I found it too simple, but it may well be the book that assists the masses with re-concretizing their own personal paths to their supreme being. I am glad to have read it--I do not think it is worthless, I think that its message, appeal, and correspondingly, its impact, will be most significant and life-altering to those who have not spent time studying their own personal theologies or who are not already focused on what their innermost religious holdings are---very much like the protagonist of the novel.
