BOOK REVIEW: “Seventh Dimension - The Door: A Young Adult Fantasy” Five Stars from Amazon Reviewer and Author Dana Rongione
on January 12, 2016
I can honestly say that The Door is unlike any book I've ever
read before though it is vaguely reminiscent of The Chronicles of
Narnia. Speaking as one who is easily confused by time travel in any form,
I am pleased to say that I had no trouble at all understanding what (and when)
events were taking place. On the contrary, I truly enjoyed the style of the
tale.
In the beginning, I found myself shadowing a teenage girl who had far more problems than she had friends. In the depths of my heart, I could identify with her loneliness and her struggle to find her place in the world. As the reader, I ached to hold her and assure her that she wasn't alone, but fortunately, the author did much more.
Through an accident, the young girl is transported back to Jerusalem in the time of Christ. After hearing multiple stories about "The King,” Shale decides to risk everything and expose the dirty secret she'd been holding back her entire life. During her journey to meet the King, Shale encounters many Biblical characters such as the maniac of Gadara and even takes place in some of the miracles of the New Testament. This walkthrough of the Biblical past was so refreshing and eye-opening. By mixing the present with the past, the truths of the Bible came alive in entirely new ways, urging me to drink in more of what the Scriptures have to offer.
The author has woven a beautiful tale of love and forgiveness, of grace and mercy. With detailed, realistic characters and true-to-life Biblical accounts, this book is a must-read for young adults (and older ones, as well).
