Book Review Six

Recently I lent my copy of Ender's Game to friend and co-worker Jess Rilke. Now I know this makes you think that she is forever indebted to me. But in reality it's really more like....yeah she's forever indebted to me.

In case anyone was wondering the number of people who have read my copy of Ender's game in the past year is now 13. And each person is invited to sign the inside of the book as a testament to their accomplishment/enlightenment. If any of you wish to add your name to the growing ranks please drop me a line and I would be glad to hook you up.

Anyway, in an effort to repay her literary life debt Jess lent me ICE By Shane Johnson. The best part about this book is how she randomly found it in a bargain bin and it quickly became one of her favorites. Neither one of us have ever heard of this author before, and apparently no one else in the world has ever heard of this book. I wasn't even able to find a picture of it for this blog. She said it was kinda like a "one hit wonder" minus the "hit" part.

But anyway, this book managed to talk about Jesus and not become terrible as a result. It also has wonderful imagery and intrigue. My affection for this mysterious piece of work grew immensely when I reached the end, but I can't really talk about that because if I did I would ruin it. But the epilogue is probably the best part of the book.

The thing is, if you want to read this book I think you are going to have to actually know Jess Rilke, because I believe she has the only copy in the world.
