5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! R.E. Klein's novel surrounds one with a wave of wonder., 16 May 1999
By A Customer
Without having had much leisure time for reading in my recent life, I couldn't put this novel down. Klein motivates readers with ongoing adventure, mystery, fantasy, and fun woven cleavery throughout the story. This is definately a "no miss" for the closeure of our century.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent & entertaining, 12 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This book kept me entertained from start to finish. True fantasy with CS Lewis stylings. A very hopeful and wonderfully told tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to reread and to share with your friends, 18 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This book draws in the reader from the first page. It is literate, elegant, and exciting. The story keeps coming to mind after you've read it once, and you'll want to share it with friends because you'll want to have people to discuss it with! This book reminds me of C.S. Lewis' "Perelandra" with its good-and-evil tug-of-war with the ocean as a background.

I happened upon this book at the public library, have lent it out once, read it twice, and it's not due back for another week yet. I hope to find it on tape for my husband so WE can discuss it!
