Daniel Taylor (1) (1948–)

This book was less mystery and more a satirical, often humorous, review of current Christian culture. Although I enjoyed the commentary, I wish the book had more plot.

Nicely paced. Read for studies on audiences and participation but loved for his comments on Twain, Wiesel, and MLKJr.

This novel hooked me immediately, and it never quite let go. The intellectual meditations don't slow down the narrative much. I was blown away by novel's slow revelation of character and plot. Superbly powerful story.

An excellent look at Celtic pilgrimage in the sections on Iona, Skellig Michael and the conclusion in pilgrimage takeaways. The pieces in the middle on Lindisfarne and illustrated gospels aren't nearly as strong, and the more specifically travel memoir parts are too light and goofy compared to the first and last chunks.
