review 1: When I had originally started to read this book, my first reaction was 2 stars, maybe 3, that this is yet another one of the "life lesson" fables that we are innodated with. I have read too many of these things to remember them all and they all say the same thing. This one is clearly different. I really have enjoyed the story in this book so far. Do I think it rises to a 5 star level.. no, but it is close. If there weren't so many of these books on the market, I might say yes, but like those which have proceeded it..it is just another one in the mix! ETA (02/02/2011): I took this book back down to 3 stars. I thoought the ending was corny and went as the majority of these "life lessons" books go. I don't know if I would invest $22 in a 125 page book that is similiar to so m... moreany before it. If you can't get it from the library, I would give it a pass!
review 2: I won my copy of Elijah's Coin from Goodreads. My 14 year old son read the book before me and he quite enjoyed it. He took the coins that came with the book and has already passed one on to someone else. The 'life lessons' in this book really meant something to him and he wanted me to share the book with his older brother, who is 15. So we read the book again, together, all three of us. It's a simple, short message and was interesting enough to hold the attention of my teenage boys and I enjoyed it even more because of that. less
