This was an interesting, different sort of book. It was about a Christian speaker who lost his wife, who he loved dearly, at a relatively young age. It was also set in England, which gave it a different sort of flavor.

Written with such heart, it is hard to believe it is a work of fiction and not autobiographical

Never quite got into this one. Not sure I would recommend it to any of my friends. I found a lot of the text hard to read and the flow wasn't the greatest.

Listening to audio book. Interesting story of a reunion of former youth group members. British.

David, a Christian speaker, is invited to a reunion of his old youth group in a 'haunted' house. Five or six friends decide to talk about what frightens them. A moving book in places, although there was rather an excess of sentiment, and the whole seemed a little unlikely. Well-written as ever with Adrian Plass, but not one of his best.

I have to admit that I was expecting a different sort of story than the one put forth here. This one is more of a Christian novel, which is okay, because it was done quite well. And I always admit when a story gets me to well up, as this one did.

It is easy listening, and easy to follow.

Wow, a completely different Adrian Plass, more serious, deeper, and conflicted. Not a humorous read, but not a bad one either. Would recommend staying with the Sacred Diaries though.

Weird reading a non humor book from Adrian Plass, but it is still good and a nice change of pace for him.
A must read for Plass fans.
