Review: It has it all
Rating: 5 out of 5

The author in his short biography here said that it was the book he wished he had read. I don't have problems of self identification, but it is the book I'd wanted to read too, I just didn't know it before I read it.It has all I love in books and more. It is rare when a story is written the way I would have written myself if I were the author, but this one hits the nail on the head. The main idea is overused by movies so much that it started to feel very lame, but this book was the first which made it feel extremely real and believale. The religious explanation for what was happening was the one I would have liked to come up with myself (and I'm an atheist). The strugles of the characters felt very real. The end felt just right - anything else would have been deus ex machina and I hate when writers take that easy way out.They say people like the most to read or watch about something they had always known and believed, but couldn't formulate into coherent thoughts. This book just clicked for me that way. This is one of very few authors I'd like to read more from.
