This reminded me of some of the long poems that I read for my advanced studies in modern poetry class. While it was not for me, and I didn't understand most of it, from my experiences in that class I know that many people like this kind of writing.

I came to this book with no pre-conceptions which was just as well as, had I known that it had a religious bent, I would probably not have been so keen to read it. Thank goodness that was the case.

McTaggart's writing is superb, weaving the message into a story which holds together, styled as a modern piece of poetry. Whether you want the Christian message or not, this is incredibly readable and makes you think about life, living and dying with a huge dose of humour. The imagery created from the start allows you to picture the "narrator" and then that is built on throughout. Never losing its style I commend this book to anyone who enjoys thinking a little about what they are reading.
