5.0 out of 5 stars A Madman Revealed, December 23, 2003

This review is from: For the Love of a Madman (Paperback)

This book should be very interesting for those who find mental disorders to be intriguing and mysterious. The author offers us some insight on the life of someone who must overcome tremendous internal conflict, and not only learn from his experiences, but embrace the realities of his life. It can be described as a puzzling, yet, thoughtful human story of a lost soul searching to find knowledge, clarity, and trust.

Powerful! A very gripping story that is both enchanting and mysterious. It invites the reader to be a part of the story, feeling the love that Canon Carter has for his wife Mahsa and his feelings of spirituality, leaves the reader fulfulled. I look forward to reading his future novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars An extraordinary find by Kim Fracassi New York, New York, June 18, 2003

This review is from: For the Love of a Madman (Paperback)

The author, Cameron Chambers, deals with a very extraordinary set of factors. Canon Carter, the main character, is part mystic, part loving husband, and part faithful member of a very tragic family. He sorts through the difficulties in his life and emerges triumphant in the end. His is a story of spiritual and familial duty, a life of good serving others, and the story of a brave man and how he became who he is. The author's style is very engrossing. I felt compelled to read this book from the first paragraph.
