Firstly,this is as significant a work as his Circle trilogy.It is fun to see a character from another book show up near the end.Now a warning :It is hard to warm up to as it deals with being mentally confused,how fun would it be to be held against your will in a mental hospital !? to me it doesn't even make for an entertaining thought, but the payoff for sticking with the story till the end is huge. Dealing with such important subjects as identity & suffering is bold, and much needed.At times my mind wanted to make more direct connections between the characters and the analogy that my brain wanted to draw in order to make it a perfect allegory.It is important to remember that this IS fiction, and though it contains good allegorical content, it is not to be mistaken for a perfect paraphrase of Biblical doctrine. Enjoy it, take truth from it, but return to The Bible for your complete picture of truth.
