I read it when the novel first came out and was astounded at the struggle of good vs. evil and how Merrill wove the web. Riveting, is an understatement. My book has made the rounds of friend and family. We have had some intriguing discussions over its' premise.

I loved this book. I read it about a year ago and was just mesmerized from beginning to end. Your review was exceptional..

I agree wholeheartedly with Jonathan. Not to diminsh Kieth's film work, but his novel kept me spellbound and I wept tears of joy several times as I experienced some of the most amazing encounters with the Holy Ghost of my entire life while reading it. Even though it is a work of fiction, the Spirit testified to my soul as I re-discovered eternal truths alongside the Thomas Hall character. 5 stars from me!

Thank you for coming out with positive comments for this wonderful book. I read it in 2011. It is worth reading again and again. It will be apart of the Bennett Library for years to come.

This article confirms my total enjoyment and satisfaction in reading the book in 2011. Since then I have given it to a number of friends, who have returned it with mixed reviews. Most enjoyed it but didn't seem to get the satisfaction and affirmation I got. Your article helped me stand firm to my conviction.
