In Search of Satisfaction

This was an absolutely satisfying book. It weaved through the character's lives with precision and intent. I had heard about J. California Cooper's writing a long time ago and just had the opportunity recently to read this one. I loved the book and would recommend it highly.

I read "In Search of Satifaction" is a truly uplifting book. I first read this book about 2 years ago - my younger sister (14 years younger - then a high schooler) recommended it. To this day, I believe it is the best book I have ever read. this is a tall order to fill because I am an avid reader. My first reaction was to read this book, every three months, just to keep my spirits uplifted. Now, I try to read this book at least twice a year. It helps me in realizing that everyone, which includes me, is in search of satisfaction and aids me in this search. I have recommended this book to everyone I know. As a matter of fact,because of this book, whenever I am in search of satisfying my reading apetite - I purchase a book by J. California Cooper. Excellent piece of reading material.

The best book I have ever read . All of the characters are all interesting . And the way all of the chararters intertwine is great . This story is great . I got this book from the library and was tempted not to take it back .

I am in my mid twenties, a voracious reader, a writer of fiction, and a poet. I'm a television reporter by profession. For the last fourteen years, my favorite book has been Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye", but now that's number two behind "In Search of Satisfaction". While I did find the "Satan" references preachy, I also found them necessary to the fabric of the story. This masterpiece was woven intricately. Did anyone notice character names: "Mr. Creed", for example. It was all wonderful. Of course the moral was slapped in our faces. It was supposed to be. I see Yinyang in me, I see Hosanna in me. I see struggle and pride...I have given a copy of this book to all my friends, male and female...after they read it, we talk in amazement.
