A review by errantdreams
All Seeing Eye by Rob Thurman
4.0
All Seeing Eye is fast-paced, with plenty of explosions and assassination attempts, races-against-time to prevent the reenactment of old horrors, and danger galore. It still remains an intensely personal story told from Jackson’s point of view, in which he’s forced to allow people into his life despite all desire and better judgment to the contrary. And he’s going to have to push his psychic gift farther than he ever has before, risking his sanity and his life in the process.
My only feeble complaint is that there’s a sequence of events toward the end that could come across as a deus ex machina. However, I think that there are sufficient small clues and feeder events leading up to it that it ends up on the good side of that line.
The first time I read this book, I shed tears at the end. The fact that I read it a second time speaks very well of it, since I don’t often re-read books. It’s one of those books where it helps to go back afterward and catch all the little things you missed the first time around.
