I remember really liking this when I read it. Helps if you are looking for a "meaning of life" kind of book, I think.
I have a friend who includes this in her "Ten That Stuck with Me."
Had I read it when it came out, I might feel the same way. However, almost 35 years after its release, most of the tidbits or pronouncements have already been integrated.
Bottom line for me: young adults will likely appreciate it more.

This book is solid gold. It made me remember stuff that I'd already learned, and it made me learn more. What could be better in a work of fiction?
Maybe I didn't like this book as much because it is so much like the other books in this genre, yet I didn't feel that hope or that warm fuzzy feeling ;) like I did from the others. I was surprised I didn't really like this book since this was Davee's favorite book...and pretty much everything that came out of Davee's mouth was pure gold.
one of the first exposures I had to law of attraction ~ learned there may be more out there than I thought.

There's something a little magical about this book (or "messiah-ic" if you prefer). It's one I remember reading as a young adult and it really resonating with me. And the cover with the blue feather, it's something I could always recall.
Now, years later, re-reading it held mostly the same magic for me. I liked the approach to religion, philosophy, and the "what-ifs" raised in terms of those things. It made it approachable, and dare I say, entertaining. There's nothing overtly in your face or suggestive of a particular religion (outside of the terms themselves).
It's a quick read, but highly enjoyable, which makes it easy to put this one on the shelf to re-read later. Bach's philosophies on how a Messiah would feel being on the earth doing your average grind, and meeting and learning from him are thoughtful and well written.
This will always be a book I recommend.
