I really felt like the whole concept of this book was to capitalize on the popularity of "Lost" and find some way to cover it with a Christian veneer. ( )

A group of people are shipwrecked on a deserted island. They all come to find out that they have something very important in common. This book is great for a book club because after you read it, you HAVE to talk about it. ( )

Plot Summary: What happens, When & Where, Central Characters, Major Conflicts
A group of friends that used to be extremely close in college is reunited when one of them unexpectedly dies. The deceased was a doctor who spent his vacation time on mission projects around the globe, helping underprivileged children. Each year he would invite his former friends to go with him, but none of them ever found the time. Now their former employer (the friends all met because they worked for the same guy) pleads with them to fulfill their friends dying wish that they go on one of these trips. So five very different people--a prima donna, an actress, a daycare provider, a car salesman, and a business man--find themselves travelling to the other side of the world to build a school. However the weather--and God--may have very different plans for them.






Style Characterisics: Pacing, clarity, structure, narrative devices, etc.
It takes a little bit of reading to get into the story, as Hunt jumps from character to character and it takes a while to get to know who is who. The story builds into a powerful allegory, however, twisting into something much different than what it might seem at the beginning. Which raises some very interesting questions about the nature of hell. This in itself makes it quite a stunning read.






How Good is it?
A stunning read, part adventure story and part allegorical parable. ( )
