Three Peaks Oregon, this is the place where I fly to whenever I have a chance, of course in my mind, thanks to this book. The quest for the book of days is just the occasion to jump into this beatiful story, played in this peaceful corner of earth, with its exceptional three sister mountains. A good book must keep me glued to the coach, not hearing of thinking of nothing else but the story I am reading, and this is the power this book has. One little remark: perhaps the author enjoyed using the same language of the well-know commercial for Mastercard, while telling us about Cameron's expectations of Ann's reaction. To me it seems a lack of style, although I can forgive him :) ( )

Hey ... who tricked me into reading a god book?
But this wasn't bad, actually. ( )

I really enjoyed this book. I found it compelling and well written. After just reading a book that lacked any solid character (I will review that a little later) it was nice to see the characters well-developed and CONSISTENT. The dynamic and mystery of the plot kept me turning pages, wondering if Cameron's father was just succumbed by his disease, or if he was actually aware of the conquest he insisted his son embark upon. There were honestly some parts I thought I was completely built up only to be disappointed and I thought I would end up throwing the book across the room in frustration. Regardless, I pressed on until the end.

I very much enjoyed all the twists, turns, and mystery that Book of Days provided. The wrap up in the end was inspiring and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend it as an enjoyably light read. ( )

Cameron Vaux is literally losing his mind and he needs to find the "Book of Days" before it is too late. Both his dying father and dying wife refer to this book as God's life history of everyone in the world even showing the future whether you want to see it or not. Cameron takes a quest to a remote town in Oregon to find the book that will help him fulfill his father's and wife's last wish, but he finds that there are people in the town who will stop at nothing to get their hands on it.

Ann Bannister is the host of an outdoor program and a foster sister to Cameron's deceased wife. Cameron contacts Ann asking for her help in finding the book and even though she thought it was folly to see him again considering she has been secretly in love with him for years, she agrees to help. But she has a secret of her own. Her mother was raised in this same town and she wants to find out why she abandoned her so many years ago.

This is an interesting Christian fiction/mystery where the characters are well-rounded and the storyline is very engaging. In other words, it's a page turner.

Thank you to Mr. Rubart and LibraryThing's Early Reviewer's program for giving me the opportunity to review this book. ( )

This was my first exposure to Christian fiction and I really enjoyed it. Although I felt there could have been more character development, I was still immersed in the suspense of the story and wanted to keep reading to find out what happened next. Some of the plot was a bit contrived, but not to the detriment of the book. It really was an interesting concept that kept me hooked.

Good, but not great. ( )

Book description
"… in Your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being." —Psalm 139:16. Young Cameron Vaux’s mind is slipping. Memories of his wife, killed two years earlier in a car accident, are vanishing just as his dad predicted they would. Memories he knows he has to remember. His father tells Cameron that to save his mind he must find "the book with all days in it" — the past and future record of every soul on earth. When an obscure clue leads Cameron to a small central Oregon town, he meets enigmatic Taylor Stone, a possible guide to finding the book who seems to carry secrets far deeper than anyone imagines. Local hotshot TV personality Ann Bannister thinks the legend of the book is a farce, but she has her reasons to join Cameron’s search anyway. Finally, there is fanatical New Age guru Jason Judah, who will stop at nothing to find the book of days before Cameron does.
