The Note: A Novel -

What would you do if you had a few seconds to live? What sort of message and legacy would you leave your loved ones? Angela Hunt explores this issue and many more in THE NOTE. A wonderful story of hope and new beginnings!

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!

I received this book yesterday evening. Well, I finished it at 1 am this morning! I couldn't put it down. Anyone who has a painful memory that seems to hold them back from God will appreciate this book. It reminds us that we have a loving, forgiving heavenly Father that we have available to sooth our hurts and forgive us from the most "unforgivable" sins. We only need to reach out to Him. This is a "Must Read".

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!

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.
