Week 2: Chapters 7 -13 Discussion Questions

 

 

 

1.)  Heven's mom has a new boyfriend that Heven doesn't really like.  Have you ever disliked a boyfriend/girlfriend or family member's significant other?  Did you tell them, or just try to get along?

 

Well, one of my sisters once had a boyfriend whom I didn't quite like.  He was a librarian, so you would have thought he would have been harmless, right?  Lol.  It turned out that he was cheating on my sister with an ex-girlfriend!  He and my sister were almost engaged, too.  She got suspicious when he started making excuses that he 'wasn't ready to make a commitment just yet'.  When she found out about his cheating, she immediately ended the relationship.

Why do I love this cover?

 

Of all the colors of the rainbow, I can find none more beautiful than blue!  Although I do like other colors as well, none can compare to blue, in my opinion.  It's hard to explain the feeling of aesthetic satisfaction I experience whenever I look at something blue...

 

This cover is an exquisite jewel.  The color has been handled with such mastery, such attention to detail.  The various shades all form a perfectly blissful harmony.  The feeling is one of spaciousness, of boundless eternity, of soaring peace.  The glittering sea, the brilliant sky awash with soft clouds, the shining planets hanging in the pristine atmosphere...everything is just perfect!

My Review

 

 

Nonfiction books can be absolutely fascinating, although I have noticed that nonfiction book reviews don't seem to get as many comments as those dedicated to fiction books.  I would love to post more nonfiction reviews in spite of this.  They are, after all, as necessary to my reading diet as books about supernatural creatures, or exciting adventures in fantasy lands and outer space.

 

Andrew Cort's The Door Is Open grabbed my attention as soon as Innovative Online Book Tours notified me about it.  I have always enjoyed reading books about metaphysics, mythology, and spirituality.  Seeing all three combined into one book seemed just too good to be true, so I knew I had to participate in the tour!

 

This author has certainly exceeded my expectations.  I simply could not put this book down.  I realize that this is the type of comment frequently made about fiction books, but it certainly applies to well-written nonfiction books, as well.  This particular book is definitely not boring or 'preachy' in any way.  Instead, it engages the reader at every level -- intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally.  Those who, like me, enjoy reading such stimulating books, will be amply rewarded.  My one regret is that the book is only 186 pages, although there's a lot of fascinating food for thought packed into them.  Still, I would have loved it if the book had been twice as long.  To make up for this, I will simply have to read more of this author's work, which will be a pleasant task to look forward to!
