Rating: Summary: Thanks Angie! Review: "The Note" is Christian fiction at its best. It offers the struggle of the world in Julie St. Clair, the struggle of Christians and non-Christians alike who can not understand God's forgiveness, and it shows the transformation and reconciliation with and from the past in Peyton. So often, we as Christians can not relate to the struggles of those who have not heard the message because we have been caught in our "bubble" of righteousness. This book clearly illustrates how and why some might not come to understand the message of forgiveness brought through Christ. Finally in light of the recent events, it is about time we present the message to so many who are hurting. Great Work Angie~Your "book discussion" friend at Deep Creek Baptist Church
Rating: Summary: Disappointing! Review: Although, the book's meaning was good, it rambled on & did not keep my interest! I scanned through a lot of this book.

Rating: Summary: ANOTHER FEEL GOOD STORY Review: Angela Hunt has done a good job with this story. I must say the story is unique and clever in some ways, and it reminds me of the novel, Message In A Bottle. The story does stand on it owns... as a captivating contemporary tale of a disenchanted columinist who finds more than she bargained for when she is given a mysterious note that washed up in the debris from a tragic plane crash. The story turns out to be nothing new here, no real drama, and moves along with some pace. But just as I reviewed the Message In A Bottle, this story ends in my opinion as a feel good story. I recommend this story for a cold winters night near a fire. Tripp

Rating: Summary: My favorite Angela Hunt book so far! Review: Angela Hunt has woven a unique and clever story that kept me turning pages and surprised me at several turns. The story stands on its own as a captivating contemporary tale of a disenchanted columnist who finds more than she bargained for when she is given a mysterious note that washed up in the debris from a tragic plane crash. But when you delve into the allegory woven throughout, the novel becomes an amazing gem! You won't be disappointed and you won't soon forget this story.
Rating: Summary: I couldn't put it down, got no sleep! Review: I am not a reader, I am a CONSUMER. I pick up a book, and, if it is good, I just can't stop reading! I will lose a day or two over a good book. I am blessed, however, to be a very fast reader. I went to the book store yesterday to buy a retirement gift when I remembered that The Note was out, so I got it, too (along with number 2 Heavenly Daze) justifying my purchases with the classification that they were vacation reading. Of course, when I got home, I thought "Well, I'll just start it...it will give me some motivation to get packed." HAH! I read the first 2 or 3 chapters last night and then lost most of today reading. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, and liked getting to know Peyton through the eyes of those around her. I was also totally taken off guard at the end. I recommend!
Rating: Summary: Enjoyable Book Review: I enjoyed this book, however I felt the ending was too abrupt... sort of like a crash landing. It left me wondering about Peyton's relationship with the recipient of the note... but then maybe that's what I was supposed to feel. It did make me re-evaluate my relationships with others and with God. I would recommend this book to others.

Rating: Summary: Couldn't Put It Down!! Review: I haven't read a book all the way through since I got stuck in the middle of the fourth book of the Left Behind Series last summer! I bought this book last Thursday evening and longed to return home from being out with my friends and family on Friday and Saturday nights just to read the book! I finished it on Sunday night with the intent of only finishing the next chapter.. I was up until 1:00am! The book was a total wake up call for those of us who may have stale or unhappy relationships with our parents, particularly with your father. You just never know how someone or something may touch your life. I think Angela wrote this story with the intent of having her reader desire to finish the book and go out and embrace their loved ones. Everything happens for a reason and God has His hand in everything we do, whether or not we see it as it's occurring! Wonderful read.. recommended from a person who can't ever finish a book but has started a million of them!
