What is heaven, what is hell. The story is wonderful in giving glimpses of what it just might be. A gate one must pass through, that is a fate of eternity on the other side, based on your life experiences. Attitude in life.. The idea of Native Americans knowing about this portal from a very long time ago. Its use to bring change into a world that has to much hatred..I loved the ideas you get glimpses of in this story, including the explanation of what the gate is..However the story itself, seemed to literally fall apart for me.. It just died about half way through, and i ended up speed reading several chapters, knowing exactly what was going to happen over several pages at a time.. The last two chapters, were good.I think in the end, the book I read was half the length it is written to be.. It held my interest, and bored me at the same time. I know others gave it better reviews, but I think I was more into the sci fi of the story, and not so caught up in the characters. The wedding got way to much attention.. for example.. my impression..It is worth reading, and don't be surprised if it seems to just go to slow at times.. I got sometime out of it, but not a feeling I had just read a great book, but it was okay.. as long as i didn't read every chapter word for word.
