Eternal on the Water

Eternal on the Water was painfully beautiful. Joseph Monninger is an sublime writer. The book flowed even though nothing overly exciting happened. I stayed interested and tuned in through the whole book.
Jonathan Cobb and Mary Fury were lovable characters. I don't think there was a single character in this book that didn't immediately have a personality you couldn't relate to. Jonathan and Mary's Yeti love was one in a billion. Their journey together was heart-wrenching, joyous and enchanting. Reading this was almost as a life lesson, but not in a cliche way. I have to admit I was tearful at the end. It's rare that a book brings such strong emotions from me but this hit the spot. I don't recommend this for the faint-hearted. As you can tell from the synopsis it's not going to be an easy ending. Would I recommend this to everyone who is young, old, sci-fi readers, non-fiction readers etc, ABSOLUTELY!
Ok so now on to one bad thing... I did have one problem but I can't really talk about it with-out spoiling it. So I wont! Even with one vice it's a worth while read!
