T author has done a wonderful job of using a conflicted dilemma that can occur in a marriage relationship to provide an interesting and fun read.  The characters were ones that are common yet special in a relationship.  Supportive friends, difficult family, interesting work relationships make this story a fun read. The ups and downs of the emotional aspects of distance when issues need to be resolved is something we can all relate to in our own lives.  Heather has done a wonderful job of keeping the story one where the reader is present and agonizing  over the same issues.  I know you will enjoy this read!

I just heard about this book being released! I look forward to reading it!  It's extremely thought provoking! It's obvious the author has a passion for God and Science as it comes through in the choices he made for cover and title of the book...Well done!

I was recommended this book when someone saw me reading Eckhart Tolle and I am glad that I took their recommendation.  This book is very thought provoking and beautifully written.  I read it first with a library copy and ordered the book before I turned it back in.  It is now making its way through my family and I hope they all in turn buy the book for their own collection as well.

I thought this book was very well written.  I am not at all religious and this is not the type of book I would normally read.  I had just heard so much about it that I thought I'd give it a try.  I couldn't put it down!

To repeat, I am not religious, but I found some of the things in this book actually made sense to me.  The story itself is a bit far-fetched, but I thought it provided an interesting (and sometimes humorous) way of looking at things.  Maybe people with a more religious upbringing think this book takes the questions dealt with in the book too lightly, and maybe it does.  But I think it's a good thing if it makes even a few people ponder on some of the questions and premises that were raised in this book.

This book really made me think about not just "work" and what "work" is precisely, but also from there about the world generally and my place in it as an individual -- which is a bit heady and not something I expected.  The idea of "being the master of one's own stuff" is a simple one on the surface, but one with deep ramifications thoughout nearly all aspects of one's life. I'll be digesting this book for a long time -- likely for years to come. The writing is excellent, and the ideas presented are clearly outlined and obviously deeply-felt and well-considered.  Very highly recommended.

Very well written and thought provoking.  Lead to fabulous discussion amongst friends.  There are so many things we do subconsciously without thought.  Helped me realize how many areas of my life that would be enriched by mindfulness!

I really enjoyed this book. It was required reading for a class and I wasn't really wanting to read it at first. The ideas and themes in this book are amazing. A very insightful and thought provoking read.

Excellent and very well written. As I read the book I kept wondering how he was going to end it. The final question in the book, "Is Jesus Christ who He said He is," is the most important question that a seeking person can ask. While the characters in the book are fictitious the storyline is very real to life and thought provoking! This book is a powerful resource to hand out to people who are confused with what they see in the world around them and questioning how God can be a good God when there is so much pain and suffering around us.

SUPERB!  Obviously Mr. Friedman is a skillful writer. And, the content is thought provoking and insightful. You will think differently about a lot of things after reading this book, technology, climate change, and remembering what really matters and what shaped your thinking for life.

If your searching for a new way to view yourself and the world around you then I highly recommend reading this book. The author makes difficult concepts easy to understand. The ideas and musings provide thought provoking ways to think about yourself and the world around you. Take a journey with this writer's personal life experiences and see how he has chosen to handle life's problems. In reading this book truely found some answers for myself and hope others will take the time to read this enlightening book.

A very well written and thought provoking book. I tend to like many of McEwan's books.

What a wonderful book! This was so well written and made you think and open up your mind to a new way of thinking. We are so used to how we live and how we as a society live and think that it is easy to forget it wasn't always this way. This book will open your mind to how religion used to be and probably at times make you sick to your stomach thinking about it.
Harry was 96 when he wrote this book about his life growing up as a young Jewish boy and that is amazing by itself but this book was written so beautifully I found myself re reading passages because of how he described things. Harry was really able to bring you to his street.
There were times I wanted to scream at people and times I laughed out loud and cried openly. Touching story about life, love, family, forgiveness and history. Highly recommend this!

Such a wonderful and intriguing book!
This book makes you think about our origins as a species and our belief systems (such as religion). The author has a way of writing that avoids confusing jargon and captures your attention. I know I've learned a great deal from this book, and definitely sparked some interesting conversations in my famiky!
