I keep a few copies handy to lend out because it starts out with a concept (What if we didn't need to sleep?) then goes with it in a spider-diagram skitter that slips in and out of life & human philosophy so easily that you sometimes don't even realize it's happening.

The rest of the series is ok. Not as well written, not as philosophical. This is the only one you need to read, really....less "

However, some of the content just pissed me off because it was so unrealistic and illogical. There was a whole part of the story that could have been left out; then I might have liked this book....less "

Part of it is Fitzgerald's writing style, part of it is the story of a man who pined for the same woman for years and would have parties and a lavish lifestyle only to get her attention. There is way more to this book than that, but again, it's one of my faves for anyone who didn't actually read it in high school (or read the cliff notes instead)....less "

Anyway, I found that although I knew most of what he was talking about (it was written back in 70's), I still had some things to learn.

I recommend this highly as a great refresher on the power of prayer.

If your prayer life seems a bit stale, pick up the book and be refreshed....less "

I liked the characters (particularly the strength of [some of] the female characters), I liked the writing style, I loved the wry humor. It's just a fabulous book, an amazing achievement considering it could have been just more romantic slop. The only downside: now I refuse to settle for anything less than Mr. Darcy....less "
