One of the best books I have ever read. I have given several copies away as gifts and every one who started the book finished it.

This book captivates a spiritual cadence so deep and profound I could not put it down. A brilliant participator in a futuristic world where light emerges so graciously on a baby soul of sorts. I recommend this read for all interested in an evolutionary experience beyond the scope of most science fiction...

As a work of science fiction, the story is imaginative and fascinating. There are moments of dazzling beauty and compelling imagery. Unfortunately these moments are too few and far between. The book is written as a first person narrative, and the protagonist is somewhat shallow. I had a hard time identifying with him, or caring much about what happened to him.

The spiritual material in the book mostly comes from the The Urantia Book, and I found it interesting. A ton of material is covered, often in a very dry lecture style. Many of the concepts were presented as an overview, and didn't have much depth. The story bogs down in this material, and as a result the book was not a real page turner for me. I would read a chapter or two and need a break.

It's tough for me to give a final rating, I liked it more than spiritual fiction books that I gave three stars, and less than the books I gave 4 stars. Too bad Amazon will not let me give it 3.5 stars.
