I picked up "The Gazebo" with a mixture of trepidation and curiosity as I am familiar with the community, the eccentric liberals, and many of the supporting cast of characters. I found myself taken in by the group and their ways of dealing with the religious questions with which many of us struggle. I was especially fascinated by the use of the gazebo as a hang-out for the unorthodox gatherings. I was disturbed by some of the religious discussions and performance pieces that were presented -- in the same way that Clete Fuller was disturbed -- but this may have been because my own beliefs were being challenged. I would not recommend this book to everyone as some people would be upset by the ideas presented. However, I would recommend this book to other eccentrics who want to be challenged, provoked, and who want to be made to think. I will be interested to see where this group goes from here and look forward to the second book of the trilogy.
