At its best (as it often is) it is compelling and unputdownablw. I shall not be surprised at all to see him hit the big best seller lists one day. I also recommend his blog. It is full of both useful and interesting content.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461215520773807773.post-37399670045197894212010-10-19T03:51:39.798-04:002010-10-19T03:51:39.798-04:00I couldn't put "Breaking Faith" down...I couldn't put "Breaking Faith" down. As Linda Acaster says, it can be read on so many levels. The love story has enough tension to keep the reader hooked. But when you consider the character of the landscape in which the book is set, what is real against what can be seen through a camera lens and the way in which the author makes the reader really care for Faith, you have a April Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09323616899009501244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461215520773807773.post-68149457918176631372010-10-19T03:17:39.140-04:002010-10-19T03:17:39.140-04:00'Breaking Faith' is very much a multi-leve...'Breaking Faith' is very much a multi-level read, that leaves you chewing over aspects long after the novel is completed. But there again, Stuart Aken is a multi-level man. It's good to see him being featured for a change.
