“What is a song? It is a perfectly expressed emotion. It is words that dance. It is a place on returns to again and again, like a rhyme, like a home. It is a cry to heaven. Danny Gospel is a song. David Athey sings it.”

" well...I gave it 50 pages, but just couldn't get into it. Seemed too disjointed and hard to follow. Sorry Danny :-) "

" TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!! This book was the worst waste of my time ever. I don't know why I bothered to read the whole thing. It was nothing but senseless rambling with no logic or conclusion. It might fit on "The Twilight Zone" but as far as inspirational or worthwhile it is a total nothing! "
— Robin, 11/26/2009 -
" Not wild about this book. It was very intruging but left me hanging at the end. I think weird would be an appropriate word to describe this book. "
— Nicole, 10/15/2009 -
" I was pleasantly surprised. This was a very good book, but it's still processing. "
— Jonathan, 5/20/2009 -
" It was a very weird book with a very unsettled ending, I didn't really understand it, I felt like someone must have ripped some pages out in the middle, cause I just didn't get it. "
