Amazon.co.uk Review
Best-selling author Richard Bach explores the meaning of fate and soul mates in this modern-day fairy tale based on his real-life relationship with actor Leslie Parrish. "This is a story about a knight who was dying, and the princess who saved his life", Bach writes in his opening greeting. "It's a story about beauty and beasts and spells and fortresses, about death-powers that seem and life-powers that are". Yes, it is all that, and more. On the earthly plane this is about the riveting love affair between two fully human people who are willing to explore time travel and other dimensions together even as they grapple with the earthly struggles of intimacy, commitment, smothering and whose turn it is to cook. Their love affair and happy ending inspired many enthusiastic fans. Years later, some of these fans were devastated to discover that this match made in heaven didn't manage to stick (the couple are no longer together). Bach explains that lovers don't have to stay married forever in order to be lifetime soul mates. Read this as a lesson about love's enchantments and possibilities, but don't count on this book to keep you and your mate on the bridge across forever. --Gail Hudson

Makes you think!! February 5, 2007

I was wanting a book to read when my friend asked me if I had read this book - I hadn't!! He said it's his fave book so I thought if it's the best book he has ever read then it really is worth reading so I bought it.
It took me a long time to read, I kept putting it down and coming back to it now and then so it wasn't a page turner in the sense of a book that you can get lost in.
This book really makes you think about things and I mean really think about things. I think that's what took me so long to get into it and read it. It just makes you think about things in ways that they probably haven't done before.
I came away looking at things in life in such a different way so even if it takes you a while to read this book from the start to finish it will truly be worth it.

On first impressions it could be considered a slow starter with no clear direction. However this is merely lowering you into the thought process and world of Richard Bach, it quickly becomes fascinating and compelling, the ideas and philosophies that are formulated by the author during this largely relatable tale seems to construct clear parallels to that of your own life.

The story almost becomes void in the sense that it's more a context of a largely 'spiritual' journey, for use of a better word, into ones self.
I would recommend this book to anybody, as the style of writing and ideas are universal and can easily be understood, enjoyed and learnt by all that will lend some time, enjoy!

'The Bridge Across Forever' follows on from Richard Bach's other book 'Illusions, or the Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah' However, it is not necessary to have read this book to understand the Bridge Across Forever.
An amazingly simple yet amazingly complex book of love, hope and fear in the modern day. Not a slushy romance book, but a classic and sharp edged novel where you can completely loose yourself in the characters. There were times when I actually found myself shouting at the characters in the book as I read because I got so involved!
I definitely recommend this book to both romance lovers and those who love a good story.
