review 1: I found this book interesting and although a bit dark in the beginning, the story makes a 180 degree turn and shows the friendship and generosity of people to those in dire need. It also flashes back to a love story and the pain of loss. The ending was very surprising and I'm not sure I entirely understand why the author decided to end it that way. I started reading Van Heerling's short story sample Malaika at the end and it looks to be another thought provoking novelette.
review 2: There should be "SIX STARS" available for beautifully written books such as this. The author captures that rare ability to evoke emotions in a person. The characters are so well developed that you feel for them, sympathize with them and cry for them. Dreams of Eli takes you on an em
... moreotional journey with his childhood friend Ezra. The story takes you back and forth through time to Eli's childhood and then to adult years. This is a story that will have you reflecting on your own life and what really is most important. Eli's journey will make you laugh and make you cry. The friendship between himself and Ezra is such a beautiful one a rare and true friendship. This is a story of love and loss and one I urge you to read. This is an original beautiful story that I will re-read again... less

I liked the book and the ending. I just wish it didn't jump around in time quite so often.

Beautifully written, emotional, visceral, bittersweet.

Nicely written but very short and a little superficial
