Love Christopher pike

Can't wait to read!

Still my favorite book.

I first read this book when I was in 8th grade. I'm 26 now, so granted that was some time ago.. but over the years, I cannot begin to count all of the times I have read and re-read this book. It's a fantastic and well-written novel that I think everyone should read; it's enlightening, and it's one of those books that once you pick it up, you just can't put it down until you're finished. Read this book, if it's the only book you EVER read. Then you'll understand why I'm so over-the-top about it.

Perfect

I find it difficult to summarise how amazing a book this is. Compared to all the spiritual books these days, recent and past this book is on a league of its own.There is only one book in this league. It does not preach, does not lecture but subtly provides guidance, inspiration and happiness in a way no other book, I have read does. It really can be a vehicle for change. Forget the rest, this is easily the best, by far.

Yes, life changing.

If you read only one book, read Sati.Read it with a completely open heart and mind. Listen to it. Understand it.I wish I could afford to buy Sati in great big boxes and hand it out to people. I want the whole world to read it and understand it. I want it to be in every language. I want to learn languages so I can translate it.Please. Read it.And if you read two books, read Sati and then Anthem, by Ayn Rand.

Amazing

Christopher Pike has always had a wonderful and unique way of writing all his books. Every single one is different in their styles. Sati is a wonderful book about a young lady who is picked up by a trucker on the highway and is brought home to stay with. She is mysterious and comes with no possessions except the cloths that she wears and the shoes on her feet. She also makes a startling announcement. That she is God. Throughout the book she manages to do wonderful things with the people she comes in contact with A very wonderful story that everyone must read.

A simple allegory

... If you are open minded about spiritual principles, this book will probably appeal to you.Pike made his name (as we all know) by writing teenage hack-and-slash horror. And it was ok, but never fabulous. When I came across Sati at the library one day, I expected more of the same. What I got, however, was a book that I found to be deeply spiritual and achingly lovely.Since then, I have loaned the book to many friends, bought copies for others, and read it aloud to my boyfriend on a road trip. This is the kind of book you just want to share. Sati is a young woman who claims to be God, and she comes to earth with a simple message. We exist to increase her joy, which is already infinite.Is Sati god? Or isn't she? I don't know, but I wish she weren't fiction.
