“This is one of the BEST debut novels I've ever read. You'll find hints of Steinbeck with a touch of Zora Neale Hurston. All in all, though, James Robinson has a unique fiction voice for "smart" readers. If you're looking for something light and fluffy, this is not the book for you. It's deep and wide and goes great with a fireplace and a glass of merlot.”

“I have mixed feelings about this book.

The subject:

interesting but worn out. It's merely the Prosperity-Name-It-and-Claim-It message repackaged to make it look very DaVinci Code. It's sad to see so many people act like sheep going to slaughter over the marketing of this book.

The writing:

very good, but not up to par with other books of its genre.

The bottom line:

it's a nice, pretty pink and blue message, isn't it? Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy? But it's still a book that promotes and glorifies the "ME ME ME" attitude that makes us so ugly.

I'm not a religious zealot but this book encourages people to practice the law of attraction and thus use the power of positive thinking and speaking in order to upwardly mobilize SELF; when the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts should be acceptable to GOD. ”
