Consciously Dead is a fascinating read, written in a style that is so casual and feminine, I often felt as though I was a girlfriend, being confided in, as I read it.  But it is a worldly and gutsy kind of feminism of which I speak.  The author, Sandi Wilkins, is at her scintillating best, when she is portraying the moments of sexual passion that turn the story line in this book, but it would be incorrect to describe them as pornographic: there is a wholesomeness about them and they are critical pivot points.The story is so earnestly and passionately told, I am lead to believe that it is based on the author's real life experience.  And boy, what an experience!  This story has so many unexpected turns, you don't really know where the book is bringing you until its very end.As a man I am caught up in my own experience of being a man in this world, but I believe through reading this book I was able to catch a glimpse and a better understanding of what it is like being a woman in this world.  I do not want to say too much about where this book will take you.  I don't want to lessen its impact by doing that.  What I will say, is that this is a powerful experience that is being shared with us.  I applaud Sandi Wilkins for her grit, in getting through the this harrowing experience, and I applaud her honesty and her bravery for sharing it with us.  I more than recommend this book: it is a must read.
