4.0 out of 5 stars An exploration of first love and religious belief, 8 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Now I Know (Paperback)
I found this book by accident in a 2nd hand bookshop, thinking it was a murder mystery. In fact it's an absorbing exploration of religious faith told through the voices of a naturally devout young Christian woman Julie, and of Nik, an atheist unwillingly researching the crucifixion for a non-Christian youth group's intended film. Nik's love for Julie and his research take him to a modern-day monastery, and both Nik and Julie come close to death more than once. The book is well-written, engaging and thought provoking. It explores Big Issues like god (he/she/it), faith, belief, pain, love, and meditation or prayer, in ways that lift these concepts out of a narrow Christian context and unify them with other spiritual paths. As with the author's other books, this is about young people on the brink of adulthood and grappling with their sense of self, of the universe and their place in it, and of their relationships to others. Despite this serious core, it's a good read and hard to put down, with likeable and real characters. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Varied style brings search for God to life, 3 Jan 1999
By A Customer
No matter who you are or what your background is, you cannot fail to identify with Nik, the central character of this brilliant novel. An agnostic forced into making a film about Jesus' return in the twentieth century, Nik finds himself embarking on a passionate search for God. This is recounted in his diary, his tape-letters to his friend Julie, video clips and straightforward narrative. Chambers' writing is superb and its simplicity ensures that one has a clear picture of what is going on. A thought-provoking novel for the youth of our time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark but fascinating!, 23 Aug 2009
By SusieH (Dubai) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Now I Know: AND The Toll Bridge (Dance Sequence 3-4) (Paperback)
Now I Know: AND The Toll Bridge (Dance Sequence 3-4)

In both books there are disturbed and disturbing characters, as well as people confused about love and relationships.

"Now I know" deals with some of the confusions of religious belief - how strong is your belief, how can you believe what you do not see, how far will you allow this faith to take you, what will you do to prove your faith. One of the main characters, Nik, spends some time in a monastery, while he tries to sort out his feelings. The sense of peace he feels while there seems to have helped him.

"The Toll Bridge" seems more straightforward on a superficial level, but as events unfold, and we begin to understand better the complex characters, we realize that nothing is that simple. There are some interesting characters here, but for one of them, the trauma of an earlier event has done too much damage for there to ever be real recovery.

A bit dark, but very interesting
