Review of Magic Bridge
[Following is a volunteer review of "Magic Bridge" by Tom Wheeler.]
Aiden, like so many other people, struggles with identifying the purpose of his life. He has recently been involved in a terrible accident where he was drunk and couldn't find any more meaning to life as he crashed his girlfriend to death. He for a short time contemplates ending his life, seeing no sense, but he ends up in the hospital, where he happens to watch a report on the magic bridge and begins his journey of realization after he awakes from a three-day sleep. He had no serious affiliation with Christianity, though he was a Christian based on his mother's foundation. He plans to go to India after his hospital release, especially after meeting Legna, to visit the bridge.
The book is professionally edited with only a single error. The setting and the plot were incredible, with proper development of characters and various serious discussions. The dialogue was massive and made the book lively. The font couldn't have been done any better, and I generally liked the book.
Reading the book stirs several topics in a reader. The issue of faith is prominently in the spotlight as parents are seen to raise their children in church or some sort of religion that they run with till they are teenagers, only to realize it was the parent's quest and the child is merely involved in the same or rather isn't convinced as are the parents, which calls for faith to be a personal journey not enforced only by parents, but rather they are to allow a child to determine the path they are to take based on directions given.
Religion is also greatly mocked, as it is statistically proven to be the source of most conflicts, yet its prerogative is peace and love, which is quite ironic if one thinks of it. This book can stir some sense in individuals to pursue true religion and focus on the points that they share that are good for humanity rather than those they disagree with and end up pointing weapons at each other. We have to realize we are all under one God, and our differences are what result in so many denominations and religions.
Youth recklessness, along with racism and other ills, found their way into the book as the author tends to explain and build in his rhetoric, which clearly shows the tragedies of life that not only break someone but at times lead to the loss of innocent lives. I would also seek to object to the fact that bad things happen to people because of God's wishes since some errors are committed by us and we tend to point fingers to God, yet we had control of the situation; for instance, the accident Aiden was involved in at a tender age. I found nothing to dislike about the book.
I rate the book a perfect score of 5 out of 5 stars as it was quite adventurous with vivid explanation, which made me feel as though I were touring the Magic Bridge in India, as well as the grammar, which he did us a favor by explaining various terms he used at the end of the book. Magic Bridge by Tom Wheeler would be unmistakable for teenagers, as they can ponder the realities of life from a young age, avoid disappointment, and develop their faith as well.
