I am a self-profound Atheist, but when I was reading the bio on this book it reminded me of Frey's other book Bright Shiny Morning. Since I loved that book, I thought this would be an interesting choice because of it's relation to religion and the comparison in how the story was told from the view points of various characters. I was quite surprised at how much I enjoyed this book and the way that one character in the book was the sole purpose for how the other characters were linked. The story is written on the premises that this gentleman is the Messiah, and that he is to bring change and love to the world. Even though there is an intertwining of religions, it focuses on the fact that essentially all religions are based on the same philosophy of promoting change and love. When you are reading you feel like you get to know each character on a deeply personal level, and how the premise of the story relates to them directly and indirectly. A well written piece of literature that if you are curious about religion but do not believe in it, you may want to explore this avenue. As much as OPRAH bashed Frey for A Million Little Pieces and My Friend Leonard, he continues to prove her wrong by turning out fabulous writing that poses questions to topics that are of high priority. Kudos to Frey for continuing his love of writing.
I'm now fully convinced Love is the only path humanity could have taken to become a successful race. However, the point of no return down the path of biological continuation is already far behind us. In short, we are doomed because we have become a hateful species, condemned by the lust of perversion of power and our lives are so controlled that a global conscious is about as far fetched an idea as can be, even with the advent of the internet and with it the ability to transcend our times and our chains.
Un des meilleurs livres que j'ai lu de ma vie.
Loved it. Definitely food for thought!
Meh.
