"… 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.

My Opinion:
I reviewed Rooms, another novel by James L. Rubart, and have to admit, I liked it much more. You can read that review HERE.
This book was a great concept, but a bit of a mess reading. I really wished the author stuck to the original story, and didn't focus as much on the side stories. It did come together in the end, but again I was disappointed.
Just wasn't my favorite read.
2/5
Recommend? No, but I do recommend Rooms.
~I received a copy from LibraryThing. I was not compensated for my opinion.~
I have to say, I read Rooms and didn't like it very much. Last year, I also "won" a copy of this title from Library Thing Early Reviewers, but it never arrived, which might be a good thing, if it wasn't even as good as Rooms! :)
