This is a wonderful book to read slowly. The author paints wonderful pictures with rich language. I became fond of the main character, a woman, and was drawn into her story.

When a friend loaned me this book, I didn't think I would like it much. Ho hum. A story about a guy who dies over and over. But within a few pages, the author changed my mind. :) What sounds like a rather trite story line is anything but. The author adds some new twists to questions that are anything but new, and his writing style is enjoyable. Try this book! You will like it. Really :)

This is a wonderful book--yes--for Buddhists--but non-Buddhists can also benefit. Make sure you have the time to read it slowly. It is not a book to rush through.
