AUDIO BOOK REVIEW

Peace Like A River by Leif Enger

I just finished listening to this book and it was beautiful.  Putting personal beliefs aside, this book was engaging, sensitive, and dramatic.  I have rarely read such beautiful prose.  The author's grasp of language is gorgeous, very wax poetic.

This book constantly reminds you of it's Christian overtones, but not in a way that would make one angry or bored if one did not hold the same beliefs.  I imagine it would be comforting and reaffirming for someone who did.  Either way it is well worth the read.
