Title: An Uneven Descent
Review: The book club at my church (Episcopalian) designated Descent as its November 2005 selection. In sum, we liked the first part, but about two-thirds of the way through, the narrative crumbled.Everyone enjoyed the riveting story of his life-threatening situation in Paris, and the ordeal of his recovery. And we liked most of the parts when he's talking with the angels. But when the author stops telling his story and starts preaching, then people put the book down.Also, someone complained that he ties up all of the loose ends of his life before the ordeal, except for one, and that caused her to not to give the book any sort of recommendation. The first half and the second half are barely cohesive, and, as a result, we all felt that his editor failed in his or her responsibilities to the book.
