Over the weekend, I finally finished The Ultimate Life by Jim Stovall. It is sad to say that I was somewhat disappointed. I wanted the story to build up little more than what was written. I felt that the author was bored or maybe had writer's block, and opened the first book, The Ultimate Gift, and copied it. Then he went back and added bits and pieces to make the story longer. Also, I felt that the book played off the movie. It mentioned things that happened in the movie, but not in the first novel. Furthermore, the author felt the need to add exactly what Jason's Grandfather had said in the short movie clips he made for Jason, thus adding to the length of the novel, but not the quality. This book itself can be called "The Ultimate Life and Gift."
