![]() ![]() Let me also start off by stating very clearly that this novel is Christian Fiction. Certainly not a complete waste of time, but I did find myself rolling my eyes on occasion because of some of the inane actions of and conclusions drawn by the characters. Not being all that familiar with christian-based fiction, maybe that's just the way these sorts of novels are. I also didn't think there was much in the way of meaningful suspense, and what little suspense there was seemed to be resolved in a pretty heavy-handed, expedient manner. I thought the book jumped into it quickly, before I really had time to get the whole "suspension of disbelief" thing going. A good novel tends to ease into the supernatural aspects of the story. ![]() The Christian angle notwithstanding, I didn't find the characters to be particularly believable. I had the distinct feeling that if the author met me, he would tell me I was going to burn in hell. If you are turned off by televangelists or Jehovah's Witnesses, you will probably hate it. ![]() If you're a confirmed believer in all things God/Savior/Sin, you will probably love it. As a "non-religious" person, I found this book to be a little too over the top with the holy-roller stuff. This book was not at all what I was expecting. Holy crap! No, that's not a two word review, but it could be. ![]()
