5 watak seperti 5 jari satu tangan, berbeza pendirian, dan cuba bersetuju untuk satu gerak kerja. Tangan yang bakal dihulur itu kelak, untuk bersalaman atau untuk bertumbuk, adalah satu pertimbangan bagi menentukan sikap dalam menghadapi gelombang masyarakat.
Buku ini memberikan gambaran mengenai akal dan fikiran dalam menanggapi sebuah perasaan dan keyakinan.

Buku ini mengingatkanku kepada buku Hiwār ma‘a Sadīqī al-Mulhid oleh Dr. Mustafa Mahmud dan buku Tuhan Lebih Saintifik oleh Dr. Farhan Hadi kerana perbahasannya berkisar mengenai aspek ketuhanan. Sayang sekali, kupasan Shahnon tidak setuntas dan selumayan kupasan Dr. Mustafa Mahmud walaupun puing-puing persoalan dan lenggok-lenggok penulisan yang bermuara, persis karangan Mustafa Mahmud.

Mengisahkan 5 sahabat yang mencari tujuan hidup. Bukan senang nak tulis cerita macam ni. Apatah lagi untuk memahaminya. Kalau salah boleh terpesong. Setiap bab dengan soliloquy masing2.
