Review: Searching for Eden - Keith Madsen

[Hayley]

First off, I always appreciate when you can tell that a novel is well researched (as this has a lot of historical background interwoven in the plot). The story follows a grief-stricken man, an archaeology professor and a damaged girl through their search for The Garden of Eden. Although the story obviously has a religious theme, it was refreshingly open to all the types of religion and was not at all ‘preachy’. Although the story line touches on grief, it wasn’t depressing. And I found it to be quite an inspirational and uplifting read. I did find one of the final scenes to be a bit far-fetched, but it was a good novel overall.
