A mother of three is killed when her car is run off the road in a bizarre road rage incident. What follows in the aftermath of this terrible event chronicles her arrival in heaven where she meets her Creator, her family's struggle to accept and move on, and the deadly struggle for the soul of her killer.
This book is rich in biblical themes and provides an interesting glimpse of heaven and hell. In particular, the description of heaven as needing no source of light, because the glory of God lights it, refers specifically to Revelation 21:23. "The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp".
Author Graham Carter has used descriptions of heaven and various characters' plights throughout the book to illustrate God's grace and love. Additionally, he has used conversations between demons about their activities on earth to portray what eternity without God would be like.
Each section of the book starts with a Bible verse. This gives a little insight into the progression of the story. However, it is careful not to give away crucial aspects of the plot " these hints will only be picked up by the very astute, or on a second reading of the book. They provide a solid biblical foundation for the storyline, helping to reinforce the message of each section and of the book as a whole.
Most of the time the book is interesting and very readable " the three different but inter-connected plot lines converge in an exciting ending to keep the reader hooked until the very end. While the book is occasionally a little slow the convergence of the three plots speeds up the story sufficiently and this will not be enough to deter most readers.
No Eye Has Seen is a good, well-written book with strong biblical themes. The writing is a little verbose at times and could benefit from a simpler style of writing. However, overall it is a very good, very readable book.
