4.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing and fast-moving, May 18, 2000

This review is from: Through a Glass Darkly (Paperback)

This clever story of an amnesia victim searching for his identity is full of twists and surprises. I really devoured the book, practically frantic to see what would happen next. The characterization is well done, as is the plot line. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the ending. I felt the author failed to wrap it up in a satisfying way. I can't say more without giving away the ending. I'm not at all saying that the ending was disappointing; just that it could have all been tied up a little better with all the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down!, December 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Through a Glass Darkly (Paperback)

Yes, you may be surprised at the type of writing, and check to see if you have a Gilbert Morris book, but it's true. Even though it's different than his normal style of writing, I enjoyed it very much. The suspense kept me reading to find out how it would turn out. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Reading, October 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Through a Glass Darkly (Paperback)

Gilbert Morris leaves his usual writing style and genre in this book, and gives his readers a refreshing change. The plot idea was very clever, but was not unfolded as much as it might have been. The main character is a sufferer of amnesia, and though many of his reactions to re-discovering life are realistic, some are forced and stale. Details and discriptions are extremely true to life.
