Didn’t Like It

“I don't know what to make of this story. I wanted it to be better than it was. There was not much oringinality to it. THe beginning seemed a ripoff from the occult classic movie, The Hills Have Eyes, or Wrong Turn. The story begins with a couple being starnded in a remote area. Then they stumble upon this house, which becomes more or less a place they can not escape from. The story dragged on so much, I never finished reading it. THis is one author I will not be reading again.”

    “I must be an odd one out. I really enjoyed the book. I even enjoyed it more after reading Saint by Dekker...won't say why for those who haven't read both. I did read it first, and then got into more Dekker through the Circle trilogy. Anyway, I didn't think it was a waste of time.”

    “I read it cause I want to read all of his books. But I did that with David Baldacci and never should have read "The Hour Game." Some books go too far.”

    “What? Wait, I think you misread my post. The book was good up until they were in the house having dinner,(the beginning) after that it took a dive and stayed down. The rest of the book I don't agree was any good. On top of that there's a hokey ending? The whole story was "hokey." Pewwww

    I should've known this wasn't going to be any good... One of the authors was Frank Peretti, I don't particularly like his writing.

    What a waste... :( ho-hum”

    “I saw this book on many shelfs and thought, "wow it must be good." It starts out good and then takes a dive. It's such a simple and boring read. I don't recommend it. I'm going to finish reading it because I paid for it. But it's going to take a bit of an effort on my part.

    A movie on this book? Jeez, if the book's no good, why would they bother with a movie? I guess teen agers might enjoy it. On the other hand, they have much better movies to choose from.”
