Leah's message to love all and set aside all differences and live life is indeed a message that makes every one to think. A religious and philosophical book.
Great review, thanks.

A thinking thriller. This book must be really interesting. I like books that are both gripping, intense and philosophical. Human tendency to precognition is really something fascinating and awe inspiring. I will definitely read this book.

A wonderful review of a book that I'll be reading soon. I love thrillers, and honestly, the eye on the cover didn't creep me out as it did some people. I actually found it quite fitting to a thriller novel.

I enjoyed reading your review and think I'll enjoy reading this book too! It's a shame about the grammatical errors but I'm glad it doesn't deter from the reading.

Excellent, insightful review! Congrats to the author for having the Book of the Day. I read this book two years ago when it was featured as the Book of the Month. I agree that the neurologist is a wonderful character; in fact, all of the characters in this book added an interesting layer to the story. For me, the mix of religious and politics themes really made this story sparkle.

I really like the premise of this book and I love it when books make you think - thank you for a great review!

A fascinating book about philosophers, Washington politics and how we as human beings are reacting to events and each other in our current society.

From the sample, the book's written well & the spiritual/supernatural genres appeal to me. The dialogue fits well in the story & the book is well researched... I liked reading thru your review and agree totally

I love when someone describes a hero as "subtle". I find subtle heroes very fascinating and complex and I think The Message is going to be one of those stories that makes you think far longer than the end of the book.

The book looks and sounds like quite the thriller. I love books that make me evaluate my believe system and how everything relates to religion. A must read for me.

The blurb of this book on amazon and your review state that this book challenges the readers. I for one love a good challenge so I'm excited that this book is free for today and I look forward to reading it. Great job on the review!

Your review is so expressive. I totally enjoyed reading it. Hopefully I'll also have my moments of "hmmm" as I grab my own copy. Nice review.
