Liked It1 of 1 members found this review helpful “A little creepy, but I couldn't put it down! No language (or inappropriate things) and an amazing plot. When I was done reading, the book made me really think about the people I know. Am I treating them how Christ would treat them? Do I really care for them? I highly recommend this book. Seriously.” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It “I'm gonna say it. Right from the start, I don't like this book because it is touted as a "Christian" book. What the hell is a Christian book? |

“Good plot. Entertaining. At times it seemed like it may have been meant for a slightly younger audience but overall it was thrilling and exciting. A little easy to predict at times but still surprising overall.”

What this description means here is that limited to right wing concepts of Christianity and ridicules, in a pretend polite way, any concept of rationalism.
The author has no respect for real science, true diversity (read the chapter entitled The Forbidden Hallway) and probably would agree with, ""When I said during my presidential bid that I would only bring Christians and Jews into the government, I hit a firestorm. `What do you mean?' the media challenged me. `You're not going to bring atheists into the government? How dare you maintain that those who believe in the Judeo Christian values are better qualified to govern America than Hindus and Muslims?' My simple answer is, `Yes, they are.'" --from Pat Robertson's "The New World Order," page 218.
The great problem with "Christian" anything is that it's so hard to see Christ in it.
This book is aimed at teenagers and is disguised as an adventure. I would suggest they would be better served by reading some of the great Church theologians, or great secular philosophers, including both Plato and Aristotle.
By the way, this seems to simply written to appeal to teens, but what do I know. I was reading The Grapes of Wrath when I was fourteen.
