5.0 out of 5 stars A New Favorite!, March 28, 2005

Katie "book worm" (PA , USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Final Beginnings (Hardcover)

I was a little leery about purchasing this book after reading several of the "1 star" reviews here on Amazon.com - but since I've enjoyed all of his other books, I decided to go ahead and give it a try - and I am REALLY glad that I did!

I found this book to be both exciting and insightful - showing that John is an excellent writer, whether it be of fiction or non-fiction.

If you are at all interested in the topics of John's other books, I think you will thoroughly enjoy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent First Novel, October 26, 2004

John Matlock "Gunny" (Winnemucca, NV) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Final Beginnings (Hardcover)

This mystery reminded me of some of the Tony Hillerman stories. That is, it's a mystery in its own right, but there is also a supernatural aspect that in innertwined with the story.

This story follows the lives of eight New Yorkers in a post 9/11 world. Their lives converge in a mid-town Manhattan tunnel bringing out love, faith, good and evil to answer the questions:

Does everything happen for a reason, and
Do our loved ones guide us from the Other side.

John Edward and Natasha Stoynoff have written together in the past but on New Age books. This is their first attempt at a novel, and it's a good one. I suspect that this is just the first of a series that will establish them among the well known practictioners of the art.
