The most thought-provoking book I've ever read!
I read this book three times, then I gave it to my husband to read. Not surprisingly, we both came to different conclusions as to the ending! It's a jewel that changes according to the light you hold it up to. It inspired me and uplifted me and most of all, caused me to THINK which is what I think the author had in mind. I will keep this book always and reread it...

Too Trite for Bookclubs
My bookclub rarely agrees on the quality of the books we choose, but we all agree this is poorly-written fiction. For example (and this is only one), the author used pronouns very sparingly, which made the narrative voice sound like a fourth-grade reading primer. Any enticing themes the story contains are overpowered by the annoying writing style. If you're looking for...

The most thought-provoking book I've ever read!, June 7, 1999
This review is from: The Woman Who Walked on Water (Mass Market Paperback)

It's a jewel that changes according to the light you hold it up to. It inspired me and uplifted me and most of all, caused me to THINK which is what I think the author had in mind. I will keep this book always and reread it every year. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Waste of Time, April 4, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Woman Who Walked on Water (Mass Market Paperback)
I took this book to read on the plane. Lucky for the author I was a captive audience with nothing else to do. There was nothing inspiring, thought provoking or even mildly interesting. The method of story telling jumped around and added some hint of mystery which is the only reason I finished it. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't capture the significance of the main characters journey or how/why she was so influenced to undertake the journey
