review 1: A wondrous book that lifts one out of the ordinary by perfectly describing the same very ordinary that most of us live it - at yet… Palin explores the trials of life and the challenges that face us through the humdrum of everyday, and yet transposes us to a world that is well beyond our norms. Just as the protagonist is 'getting it together' and you think you've worked it out, and just when the ending appears to be in sight and beings to leave you with the , 'No, don't end it like that' feeling another twist comes in and moves one onwards. Morals, principles, doing what is right. The battles in and for the Truth are extremely well told and reflect as much an accomplished writer as they do our own challenges. Read the truth to be thoroughly entertained, and read it w... moreith a mirror close by - you'll be surprised at how it reflects! Beautiful, thought provoking, intelligent, simple!
review 2: I really enjoyed this read. I would call it a gentle adventure within a person and into the conflict of human needs and corporate greeds. I liked many things about this book, one of which was that I felt like if I met the main character (Keith), I might actually like him. It annoys me when I read a book about a character I would not like to know. I liked that people had foibles and quirks. The details of this book are enchanting, easy to visualize each step along the way. I appreciated the depth to the lives of the characters. So many authors write books where the characters have shallow lives. No one lives a shallow life. Our book characters deserve the same level of complexity. Michael gave it to them. Loved it. Would like to read more by Michael Palin! less

Ok, I'll admit, I didn't see that particular twist coming. Well done, Mr. Palin.

Nice reading, but it's all just a bit too obvious.
