I have a love/hate relationship with Chris Heimerdinger's work, but Eddie Fantastic is probably his finest novel. It's not overly "churchy" and it only does a little bit of preaching. The story is fun and interesting. The characters are believable. The dialogue is great. The inventions showcased in the book almost seem realistic. I often find myself wishing I had them. This is a fun, quick read, even if you're not LDS. Give it a try. Even if you don't like it, you didn't waste too much time reading it.
Incredible

This book is amazing. Everything about it is thought provoking, interesting and amazing. It gets you thinking "What if..." and will definatley make you want to read it again and again.I myself have read it countless times and have done at least 3 book reports on it. Don't pass this one up, even if you are skeptical of it.
Reading's Fantastic

This book is yet another of the many outstanding books written by Chris Heimerdinger. Not only entertaining to read, this book also provokes thought into spiritual matters. And the technology was cool, too. As a hopeful writer myself, it is nice to read books written by good authors, so I can know how to make my books interesting, but still keep them clean.
Yup. It's fantastic allright.

Dang.This book has got to be one of the most imaginative things I've ever read. It is exciting, funny, scary, romantic--everything you need for a good read.The story is about a teenage boy named Eddie Fanta who is going through some troubles. He can't get over his grandfather's death or his parents' divorce, he's unpopular, he couldn't get a girl if his life depended on it. Most of all, he's doubting God. But then he meets Louis, a crippled recluse who also happens to be an inventor. Eddie gets his hands on some spectacular inventions, and his life is completely changed.While extremely entertaining, "Eddie Fantastic" makes you think. God is easily recognized as the Master Scientist, but what can copying His inventions bring about? I am strongly reminded of the scriptures "precept upon precept, line upon line." We could be given the most wonderful gifts imaginable... but are we ready for them?Exciting and thought-provoking, this book lives up to its name: Fantastic.
Exciting Book

This book is good, especially if you have an open mind. Heaven knows many people today don't have one. It makes you think about how it all fits together in life. Held my attention, was entertaining, exciting, and provoked genuine thought. All in all, an excellent book
