Customer Reviews

A book of great beauty and mystery

This book had me immersed from the first to last page. I could see and hear each of the characters, and could only marvel at the way Gavin develops them and constructs that convoluted plot! There is more here than the story, though. To me the book contains great beauty and mystery -- the interplay between good and evil, guilt and innocence. It reads like a symphony composed by a master.

A Terrific Read

I loved this book. Gavin's storytelling grips and holds you from page one and doesn't let you up for air until the last plot twist leaves you gasping for breath. Breathing Water is a terrific read, a page turner. It's out of print, but you can find it if you search for it. Go and search for it.

Visionary and beautiful

I loved this book. It was brilliantly written and highly suspensful. Gavin is a masterful writer.
