Narration Toward Books The Touch: A Supernatural Story (Touch #1)
Gabriel is a special boy, living in an orphanage his entire life with no memory of his parents. He is considered autistic by many. He is not. He appears autistic because he is hearing a voice. The voice is real, but it is a supernatural presence. What the voice gives him is a power that he can transfer by touch. Gabriel is the starting point for a change that is happening to many young people just like himself, all over the world. The change is wondrous and difficult at the same time. One thing is certain. The voice holds power beyond anything any of these young people could have ever imagined. This power is changing everyone, one beautiful child after another. The problem with this mysterious blessing is that Gabriel does not trust this voice completely. This distrust never leaves him, and for good reason, but Gabriel finds that the wonder of what he is experiencing is far too great for him to resist.Below, Gabriel experiences the shock of “hearing” the voice for the first time.
“If only I could tell someone what this is like! God! What is wrong with me? What is wrong?” Gabriel was screaming with a tremendous power of his own, not with his voice, but with his mind. As soon as he screamed these thoughts, which he had done so many times through the years, he received the one thing he had always been very, very scared of, an actual answer. His body tensed to rigidity as the sound rose from within. As often as he had felt a communication with this presence, he had never had an interaction like this. Before today he had heard “voice” whisperings to his body, mind and soul, and these were very strong, but seemingly subconscious. What was happening now was completely new, and extremely unsettling. He was hearing now. To make it even more difficult for the boy to deal with, this was much more than just a voice, it was a sound of so much complexity that the richness of it made Gabriel senseless for a moment. It was the sound of the universe, every timbre of an orchestra, every harmonic of all the tones of every instrument in the world, buzzing together in something beyond harmony. This sound made extreme loudness seem quiet. It was all encompassing, crushing, like a freight train coming straight for you, the ground shaking, and a complete madness. Still, with all this, Gabriel could not resist it, because even with the unstoppable fear, he felt an absolute connection to it that could not be denied.
This book is an excellent read for all ages. It has many youthful characters, adult characters and supernatural characters, and each of them bristle with personality. The work also has a deeper meaning. The author has attempted to present the world condition in a truthful and hopeful way, which is designed to ignite imagination and possibility.

Thank you to the author and Goodreads !!!! Won on Goodreads!!! Yahhhh first book Ive won. This book had my interest in the beginning and I was really excited to see where it was headed. After chapter 5 I kept saying to myself This better start picking up soon. Unfortunately it didnt pick up enough for me and I started losing interest. Found myself skimming through.Gabriel lives in an orphanage and suffers from what is thought to be autism, but is really just the way his body reacts to his powers. His characters duality (how he is perceived vs. how he really is) and that he hears the Voice really gives Gabriel a dynamic that makes him stand out in a crowd.Flynn weaves a great story here and does well crafting a behemoth of a plot and keeping it on the rails.The story starts off strong, the characters are strong, and its easy to find yourself hooked at the
I recently won a Kindle copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway, for which I'd like to thank the publisher and author. This book instantly caught my attention with its great beginning. As the story unfolded, I realized that while the label "supernatural," wasn't wrong, it was more of a spiritual/religious bent opposed to what I think of as supernatural (vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc.) At first the story started with one character, then three, then six and, I must admit, I started
Don't publish rough drafts. Don't publish first drafts.My reaction to just about every paragraph: Show, don't tell.This doesn't even seem like a critique group has looked at it. I feel like giving a ton of feedback, but no, this is a published ebook, not a manuscript someone shared in a critique group, so I have to stop reading it.It's a pity, because if this were revised, it would probably be a good book. I like the supernatural. Alabama is an interesting character.

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. I can't recall why I requested it; maybe I went with the crowd (again) and went for the book many people wanted to read. From the literary point of view, it's quite a disaster. Do you think in complete sentences? I don't. But the characters in this book do. More than that, all the characters in this book think and talk in an absolutely unnatural, pretentious, and what's more, identical way. There's no way to distinguish
This story, as per the book's summary, is supposed to be about a boy named Gabriel who hears a voice/supernatural presence and sets out to do good in the world, along with his friend Josh. The problem with that summary is that that's only a part of the whole story. Gabriel is far from the main character; there are three other main stories that run alongside Gabriel's (Maral's, Anakim's, and Abdul's stories).Now, let's talk about the characters. There is absolutely no depth to ANY of the
