Summary: Magic realism on a sexual Christ figure
Review: A Christ figure comes to a small American town, bearing a message of love and compassion, expressed through making love. Some hear the message and are changed, others seek to destroy it. Despite the focus on love through sex, this is not camouflaged pornography, but a sincere attempt to present this vision by a master of speculative fiction.Sturgeon presents the story through the first-person accounts of the people in the town, and handles this technique well. Robert Heinlein, Stephen King, and Stephen Donaldson all praise the book highly.

Summary: Masterful use of character and voice--a joy to behold!
Review: A remarkably achievement in writing! The story is told through a serious of first person chapters. Each character has his own unique voice, manarisms, point of view, and character. Each character's voice and personalty are so different that I found it hard to believe the book was written by just one person. Anyone even remotely serious about learning the craft of writing must read this book!

Summary: Sturgeon's best book
Review: Godbody is Sturgeon's magnum opus. It captures the human condition--to be asleep, unaware--and through the evolution of the book, told in rotating 1st person, the journey to awarness. The book embodies the amazing qualities of its author, conveying the blinding warmth of his spirit.

Summary: Unless sex offends you, this is one of the best books around
Review: I found "Godbody" to be one of those rare books, like Bach's "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and Cohelo's "The Alchemist", that simply must be experienced, rather than described. A great test to see if someone is willing to think past their own preconceptions. Also, manditory reading for anyone who enjoys R.A.Heinlien and/or Spider Robinson. Great Stuff!!!

Summary: What Christianity could have been
Review: Imagine a God with a lover's touch, and you will have Godbody, Ted Sturgeon's finest character. A work which fits as easily into the genre of "love-mysticism" as do the writings of Hadewijch and St. John of the Cross, this book sheds divine light on the sexual expression of ecstasy and suffering. Sturgeon's rare compassion for the human condition makes Godbody mandatory reading for all people who truly want to know how to love.

Summary: Another Outstanding work by Sturgeon
Review: Not really Sci-Fi, but a captivating, breathtaking story. A fine dose of sex added in for flavor. Sturgeon shows with this that he is quite versatile in style and very fluid and original in the art of writing literature. As good as More Than Human and The Dreaming Jewels.

Summary: Godbody is a life-changing book
Review: Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" is a short, yet poignant story about relationships between people. "Godbody" is also a short, equally poignant story about the relationships between people and God. Sturgeon's final book is his most important, and will bring you a new awareness of yourself and your beliefs.

Summary: What Christianity could have been
Review: Sturgeon does a masterful job of showing what the brotherhood of diciples and the message of Christ would be without all the trappings that several centuries have added to it. The social and psychological implications of this are not only well thought out, but placed in a context that is more understandable to the modern reader.
