The Gargoyle

by President Andrew Davidson

A New York Times Bestseller

The Gargoyle: the mesmerizing story of one man's descent into personal hell and his quest for salvation.

On a dark road in the middle of the night, a car plunges into a ravine. The driver survives the crash, but his injuries confine him to a hospital burn unit. There the mysterious Marianne Engel, a sculptress of grotesques, enters his life. She insists they were lovers in medieval Germany, when he was a mercenary and she was a scribe in the monastery of Engelthal. As she spins the story of their past lives together, the man's disbelief falters; soon, even the impossible can no longer be dismissed.

I really enjoyed this book. Of course when i first started reading it I was a little shocked at how it was actually written instead of what I was thinking it would. But the main character is intriguing and the story pulls you in almost immediately.
However, this is certainly not a book for everyone. The beginning is blunt and too the point, then it speeds up and slowly changes into a more thoughtful flow. It's unlike anything I've every read.
