The Journey Home by Michael Baron
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This ebook was free when I downloaded it from BN.com to my Nook. I'm grateful to BN.com for the opportunity to try new-to-me authors and sometimes for books I would not want to pay to read. I knew this was likely to be a book I would not want to pay for when page 2 is headed as "Raves for Michael Baron" and the first review by RT Book Reviews begins, "Nicholas Sparks fans will rejoice..."

The ebook is short, only 146 pages, and the sentence structures used can be quickly scanned to move the reader along. Yes, it is Christian fiction, and I still want to challenge with why is this not simply-imagined fantasy from the sub-genre of magical realism for the hope that patients with Alzheimer or senile dementia are happy in a world of memories where it becomes easier to communicate with the dead than with the living.

I know there are readers who will enjoy this. I'm not one of them, and I don't recommend it.
