Faceted Mind

This book was magical and dense at the same time.  Sometimes you just have to plow through but it was worth it.  I read this book years ago but it popped up in a conversation I had with a co-worker and realized it should be on my recommended reads.  I give it props for being well written especially on some deep philosophical questions and at the same time entertaining.  Major props for originality I may have to re-read this book and I don't say that often.

Back of the Book Summery:

One day Sophie comes home from school to find two questions in her mail: Who are you? and Where does the world come from?

Before she knows it, she is enrolled in a correspondence course covering Socrates to Sarte and beyond, with a mysterious philosopher.  But Sophie is receiving a separate batch of equally unusual letters.  Who is Hide? And why does her mail keep turning up in Sophie's world?

To unravel this riddle, Sophie must make use of the philosophy she is learning. But the truth is far more complicated than she could have imagined.

 Story:

Recovering from a near-fatal accident, Seattle Private Investigator Harper Blaine develops the ability to move through the Grey: the realm of ghosts, vampires, witches, and magic that exists between our world and the next. Harper wants her life to return to normal, but when her clients turn out to be paranormal, the reluctant Greywalker is drawn into the affairs of ambitious vampires and angry ghosts. As her cases converge, Harper uncovers a plot that threatens Seattle's Grey world and must choose between honor and survival.

I fell in love with this book.  I had it on my shelf for years and never picked it up.  I had many friends tell me to read it but they never really expanded so I never just rushed to read it.  FInally this Christmas of 2007 I listened to the audio while driving home for the holidays.  I am glad I did listen to it instead of reading a good book for audio.  I love it so I picked up the fifth book in series that takes place in the same story just from a different character's perspective. 

I recommend reading after enders game while the story is still fresh it may be the fifth book but works well together but also would do well on it own.  I loved that it gave a new layer to a loved book.
