This is without doubt one of the worst books I've ever read. The setting, characters and plot were completely unrealistic and the inclusion of chunks of 'sprituality' from a variety of religions was pointlessly confusing as well as wildly inaccurate on many occasions. I can't imagine what possessed anyone to publish this dribble. I normally wouldn't finish a book so badly written but I kept believing that it couldn't possibly be so bad right through. I was wrong. I couldn't even donate this book to charity in good conscience: I put it in the recycling bin where it belonged. ( )
