I have to say that reading is not really my thing, however this book opend me up to the world of reading. And also meeting and know thing the auther it helped me see all his ideas and lessons in boght color. His book is captivateing and new at the same time an instent classic. I would not be surprised if Aramis became a house hold name. I can't wait to see his stuff on book shels and read any thing new he has to offer. I don't think this writer knows how to fail. I know his work will always be sucsessful. A great fan
Chronicles of Thanatos the Reaper

I found this book to be informative and inspiring.I found a depth of feeling in the Chapter about the loss of a child, particularly since I lost one myself. Each chapter was a story within itself and I look forward to reading more from this Author.
A concise but very in-depth reading

Coming from someone who loves to read, but seems never to find the time to sit and digest 30-50 pages per chapter, this book was a gem to pick up. With short chapters that captivate the reader with the personality of the man (well, angel) who is Death, it was easy to read one chapter or two a day, and not get lost or have to reread. Of course, that doesn't mean that I WANTED to put the book down. Each chapter delves into the way that mankind, individually or as a global whole, views death and their reaction when they each come face to face with it (him). Questions popped into my mind as I read; questions about my own views with death and how they differ to what I proclaim as my belief or religion. It was a revelatory experience. Thanatos, himself, is an interesting character, differing from the view typically displayed of an angel, in that he sometimes wishes that he could take action, but keeps himself in check under the will of his God. And I asked myself, "Am I willing to do that?"Even if you aren't into self-discovery, this book is entertaining and energetic. The short chapters keep the action at the forefront; it keeps the reader moving through history. The words are active and varied, but not to show-off the author's large vocabulary at the reader's expense (as I have seen in other books). In fact, my 2 high school aged sons thoroughly enjoyed it.Reading it through again -- Morgan
A New Age
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
There are books in history that have changed the world. There are stories that have the potential to do so as well. This story is one of those. It shows the world in a different light than I have ever seen and gives insight that I have never thought on before. I recomend it to everyone not only for its amazing message but also for the amazing story of hope, loss of hope, and its renewing. Buy this book and read it. It will mark your life forever, and will mark a new age if we let it.
What a great thing

This book is one of the best in awile. I my self aam not a big reader but this one can make me pick it up and read it over and over. It deals with a very diffrent and possitive viwe of death. I would say it is a NY best seller but NY doesn't know much about it yet, but when they do. This is defently one to order and read over and over agian. I can't wait for more from this auther.
