The Novelist Audiobook

" I didn't realize it was a Christian novel at first because the author wasn't preachy and I liked that. The main character just happens to be the author of a famous action/adventure series. When challenged by a student of the summer college class she is teaching, to put more of herself into a novella, Jordan Casey is stuck. But she soon writes with her son in mind as he struggles with drugs and alcohol. Good story and I also enjoyed the allegory inside the story. "

" Compelling story, intricately written. "

" I had a hard time getting into this book. I struggled till about 3/4 of the way through it. Got into it finally and it was just over. Nothing real exciting about this book. Not the usual Angela Hunt great read. I ended up seeing where she took the story, and got the parallels of what she was trying to teach her son. "

" different, interesting. Not one of my favorites by her though. "

" The main character is a Best Seller author. A student in her community college fiction class challenges her to write something different and more personal. This book was fun reading and hard to put down. "

" about a writer. half of it's about a town taken over by gambling, and half of it's about her struggle to be a mom and a writer. not my favorite "

" This is a book that really riveted me to the pages. Wow. So thought provoking and spiritually challenging. I finished the book and with 1 day, recommended it to 3 different people to read. Don't miss this read. "

" The allegory part of the story was hard for me to get into (not the type of reading I enjoy), but overall it was a good book. "

" Well done. I'll be reading more of Angela Hunt's books. Wasn't too keen on the allegory story. maybe the Vegas theme didn't fire me up. But thoroughly enjoyed Jordan's real-life story! "

" this has been my favorite Angela Hunt book so far. It was like reading two books in one with double stories going on. Awesome message! "

" Didn't finish. I didn't care for any of the characters, and it was sorta bizarre.O_o "

" I loved the cool way she wove all the different view points and layered the realities one on top tof the other until you, the reader, were forced to insert yourself into the story and thus your own life! "

" Honest and engaging, this tapestry interweaves an author's touching personal trial with novel-writing tips with a brilliant biblical allegory. All three threads were page turners for me. "

" One if the best books I've read in a long time. Really helped me to understand how one person sinning can change everything. "

" A very interesting book. A thought the way it was written was very interesting. An allegory within the main story. "

" So far, so good. Angela Hunt usually writes out-of-the-ordinary twists in her books. This one's neat. A book w/in a book. "

" The story within in a story can be confusing at times but I still read it cover to cover! "

" A writer writes about a writer who writes a story about a world created by a writer, and the intersection of her personal life with the story she is writing in an effort to reach her son. "

" Incredibly unique idea. Pacing was done well, and I enjoyed being able to relate to the book as a whole. "

" Two books in one. Utter amazingness has been achieved. "

" This book is a sci-fi story within the novel. I enjoyed the novel part more than the sci-fi allegory. She shows God's plan for our life and how He can use us, even when we make bad decisions. "

" I hate it when I buy a book and it turns out to be some Jesus crap. Not that there is anything wrong with Jesus. I just dont care to be preached to in a novel. "

" Twisty ending...the story kept me reading, ultimately led me to read more by Hunt. "

" Great book. It was a story within a story. Very unique. "

" A very interesting book. A thought the way it was written was very interesting. An allegory within the main story. "

" different, interesting. Not one of my favorites by her though. "

" While I was very confused for the first few chapters, I found myself drawn to this book. I couldn't put it down and had many late nights because I was up reading! Hunt's writing is beautiful and graceful and her inner story's message was one of hope. "

" A writer writes about a writer who writes a story about a world created by a writer, and the intersection of her personal life with the story she is writing in an effort to reach her son. "

" Great book, like two in one. As always you never know what Angela will do. "

" Twisty ending...the story kept me reading, ultimately led me to read more by Hunt. "

" A thought provoking book, not unlike "The Shack". We are born stumbling in the dark , letting our ego be our guide, blessed are they that progress in overcoming themselves and follow His guide and come to the knowledge that love overcomes all. "
