Book Reviews of The Holy
Book Review: Deeper and Deeper...
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Holy" is not to be taken at face value. To do so is to ruin the amazing opening to another "sight" that "The Holy" presents to us all.
There are much deeper issues and feelings running through this work of art than most will notice.
Take note, "The Holy" is not so much of a story in the similar vein as his first three famous books.
Yet it is....
I personally felt that "The Holy" was a wonderful experience and I treasure the time that I spent reading it.
I could spend all sorts of energy explaining every nuance of "The Holy" to you, but I won't.
If you want to open your being to yet another exciting and truthful story, read "The Holy"
Summary of The Holy
They knew us before we began to walk upright. Shamans called them guardians, mythmakers called them tricksters, pagans called them gods, churchmen called them demons, folklorists called them shape-shifters. They've obligingly taken any role we've assigned them, and, while needing nothing from us, have accepted whatever we thought was their due - love, hate, fear, worship, condemnation, neglect, oblivion.Even in modern times, when their existence is doubted or denied, they continue to extend invitations to those who would travel a different road, a road not found on any of our cultural maps. But now, perceiving us as a threat to life itself, they issue their invitations with a dark purpose of their own. In this dazzling metaphysical thriller, four who put themselves in the hands of these all-but-forgotten Others venture across a sinister American landscape hidden from normal view, finding their way to interlocking destinies of death, terror, transcendental rapture, and shattering enlightenment.
