Why read it?
1 author picked Searching for Eden as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I highly recommend Keith Madsen’s Searching for Eden. It is not a spy thriller, but it is a thrilling story with deep characters, moral, philosophical, and theological undertones, and a level of adventure that far exceeds that of the vast majority of similar titles.

From John's list on complex characters and philosophical undercurrents.
