Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a different kind of book and it is worth reading on many levels.

It starts off by revealing the problem faced by each individual, and then it shows their capacity to transform their life. When you read Nexus, the wisdom resonates deeply within you, not always consciously but at a soulful level.

Anyone interested in an insightful, original story needs to buy a copy of this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Effort, April 12, 2007

By 

Q E York - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nexus (Paperback)

I thought the format interesting and looked forward to real-time dialog between the characters, but that was sadly lacking. They never really engaged one another in any meaningful, escalating dialog that showed how they connected to one another or how someone's perceptions influenced another's thought processes. There was also a lot of one sided conversations disguised as dialog, and, I felt that there were many opportunities lost where the student could have questioned the master, in order to have the master expand upon the lesson and explain just how the student was to put the teachings into practice. The motivations of characters did not move the plot along and the authors resorted to inserting convenient situations to make points or generate conflict that would be magically resolved. I'm hoping a second read will enable me to get beyond the character and plot limitations to the lessons that the authors were trying to convey. Kudos to the authors for making the book happen; so many people who have a book in them never get it out.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really Bad. Don't Buy, June 29, 2007

By

This review is from: Nexus (Paperback)

I made the mistake of purchasing this book because it was referenced in a review for The Road (an amazing fiction currently on the best seller list). Now I realize I was probably led into buying it by one of the authors' friends or supporters. The 5 star reviews are bias, to say the least! The dialogue is beyond bad. It is stilted and at times downright silly. I love top quality spiritual writings like "The Power of Now" by E. Tolle or the writings of D. Chopra. It's not that I am spiritually closed, I just know very bad writing when I see it.
This "fiction" is an attempt to flesh out the spiritual teachings of the two authors through poorly crafted, one dimensional characters. I would rather drink flax oil and fast for a week to better my soul than read this kind of stuff. I anticipate receiving some unsupportive votes for this review, and these will likely come from the friends of the authors who have written the 5 star reviews. So be it. I'd rather be honest and save the potential Amazon customer some money!
