To all of you enraged Christians who are continuosly guiding us to the Bible:
I mean…if we lived the way Neale Walsch writes we should live, we would all be happy. And we would all be loving.
Even if this goes against your supposed wrathful and vengeful God, isn’t this a preferred way to celebrate our existence? Instead of discarding this book in a fit of rage I encourage you to think a little deeper.
What is wrong with a world completely full of love? I see nothing.
To those of you who haven’t read the book: You need to be ready for it and go into it with complete lack of judgment. It was hard, for me, for instance, to get the idea out of my head that the voice of God was male, but you start to feel your mind expanding. If, however, you’re willing to keep your mind closed to any ideas outside of your own, which I don’t recommend, don’t risk being challenged in your beliefs by reading this. It’s sometimes hard to think that misinterpretation is impossible and that difference is a beautiful thing.

I can only compare this book to the movie Titanic. The way it moved the audience, from the bittersweet past to the present, and from this we were hooked. The main character, Jacob Jankowski, is extremely well written. The story is a colorful works of his life, in his early 20’s. The Great Depression hits him particularly hard. A student in Cornell University, in Veterinary School, his parents are killed in an accident. Jacob drops out of school, unable to pay his way. In his own world of sadness, he comes across a wacky, dangerous group of circus folk, who call themselves the Benzini Bros. Jacob lands himself a position as a veterinarian. We emotionally become entangled in Jacob’s downward spiral and passionately wish him to find his way through these, well written, but dangerous group of people. We watch as he hits his lowests points. We see him hit poverty, then beaten, crying, bleeding, loved and even see him drunk and hungover. He is truly a rarity in the literary world, and when I finished this book I felt as if I made a friend. My favorite character is Rosie, a deeply loving, horribly abused elephant. I actually had points in the book, where I placed the book down, and had to take a break, because I was becoming so enraged because of a character named August, who relentlessly beats Rosie. Some of the scenes are brutal. I rooted for her the entire book as you will too. It’s amazing how such a warm presence she was after the book was finished. If you’re looking for one of those well written classics. This is it. It’ll have you laughing, it’ll have you in tears, it’ll have you wishing there were more chapters. I have no doubt this book is destined for the big screen very soon.
