Ilustration Concering Books The Touch: A Supernatural Story (Touch #1)
Gabriel is a special boy, living in an orphanage his entire life with no memory of his parents. He is considered autistic by many. He is not. He appears autistic because he is hearing a voice. The voice is real, but it is a supernatural presence. What the voice gives him is a power that he can transfer by touch. Gabriel is the starting point for a change that is happening to many young people just like himself, all over the world. The change is wondrous and difficult at the same time. One thing is certain. The voice holds power beyond anything any of these young people could have ever imagined. This power is changing everyone, one beautiful child after another. The problem with this mysterious blessing is that Gabriel does not trust this voice completely. This distrust never leaves him, and for good reason, but Gabriel finds that the wonder of what he is experiencing is far too great for him to resist. Below, Gabriel experiences the shock of “hearing” the voice for the first time. “If only I could tell someone what this is like! God! What is wrong with me? What is wrong?” Gabriel was screaming with a tremendous power of his own, not with his voice, but with his mind. As soon as he screamed these thoughts, which he had done so many times through the years, he received the one thing he had always been very, very scared of, an actual answer. His body tensed to rigidity as the sound rose from within. As often as he had felt a communication with this presence, he had never had an interaction like this. Before today he had heard “voice” whisperings to his body, mind and soul, and these were very strong, but seemingly subconscious. What was happening now was completely new, and extremely unsettling. He was hearing now. To make it even more difficult for the boy to deal with, this was much more than just a voice, it was a sound of so much complexity that the richness of it made Gabriel senseless for a moment. It was the sound of the universe, every timbre of an orchestra, every harmonic of all the tones of every instrument in the world, buzzing together in something beyond harmony. This sound made extreme loudness seem quiet. It was all encompassing, crushing, like a freight train coming straight for you, the ground shaking, and a complete madness. Still, with all this, Gabriel could not resist it, because even with the unstoppable fear, he felt an absolute connection to it that could not be denied. This book is an excellent read for all ages. It has many youthful characters, adult characters and supernatural characters, and each of them bristle with personality. The work also has a deeper meaning. The author has attempted to present the world condition in a truthful and hopeful way, which is designed to ignite imagination and possibility.

I always appreciate the book giveaways on Goodreads. I recently won a Kindle copy of "The Touch: A Supernatural Story" and was very excited to read it. It started out amazing! I wasn't sure that I agreed with the "supernatural" label, as it seemed very steeped in religious principles. However, as I caution my composition students, a topic can be too broad to do it justice. That is exactly what happened. It started out with children with special talents and abilities, then grew out of control.I recently won a Kindle copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway, for which I'd like to thank the publisher and author. This book instantly caught my attention with its great beginning. As the story unfolded, I realized that while the label "supernatural," wasn't wrong, it was more of a spiritual/religious bent opposed to what I think of as supernatural (vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc.) At first the story started with one character, then three, then six and, I must admit, I started
Shannon Baxter (2nd-shift Oncology nurse), Ms. Alabama (2nd-shift Oncology nurse mgr.) were making their rounds checking on Sam (58, terminal lung cancer patient), & Clara (terminal lymph node cancer patient). Clara had mentioned someone (ghost) had been in her room. Sam also claimed he had seen a phosphorescent blue glow in his room. Sam had had enough & yanked out his IV. He was at the nursing station sending out emails to his family. Jim (security guard) had Dr. Kelton examine Ms.
I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I can't recall why I requested it; maybe I went with the crowd (again) and went for the book many people wanted to read. From the literary point of view, it's quite a disaster. Do you think in complete sentences? I don't. But the characters in this book do. More than that, all the characters in this book think and talk in an absolutely unnatural, pretentious, and what's more, identical way. There's no way to distinguish
I found the topic of the book interesting - a boy who can hear voices and is misdiagnosed as having autism - but the writing style made it difficult. I found the book to be written very simply, as if for a child. Maybe it was intentionally set to be from a child's perspective, which would make more sense since the protagonist is young, but it took a while for me to adjust to it.
I am halfway through the book but it definitely grabs you from the start. I believe this voice isnt going to be a good thing so I cannot wait to see what it is.
DraggyCould not finish. Plot would start to weave and then, off to another different story. The editing left much to be desired, but that has become normal. A shame.
