Ratings and reviews

I'm disappointed to see the bad reviews this book is getting, it is definitely one of the best books I've ever read. The story is extremely captivating and towards the end I could not put it down. I believe those who rated it less that 3 stars did so because the book makes many religious claims and as always, where there is religion there is disagreement. I however am not a Christian so it didn't bother me. I would not recommend this book to anyone who doesn't want their religious views being challenged.

Couldn't put it down

Very good tale
