    Yeah, I read it probably a month or so after it came out. It was different. However, the ending was entirely predictable. lol. I'm now just waiting patiently for Green to come out.

Stop by and check it out: http://bookeventcenter.ning.com (I try to go to the chat there on Tuesdays around 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time.)

    I was referring to both that one and family camp in Iowa.... I couldn't remember for either one... I just don't think I made it very clear :) Sorry.

    Yes, I finished the book... In two days! I would have finished it in one, but didn't have time...

    Which camp are you talking about? Here's a review I found on the book....

    Huggins is one of those authors I discovered by chance a few years ago. I have read most of the books he has written, my favorites are Reckoning and A Wolf Story. Both are worth your time and effort.

    A Wolf Story is an allegory in the style of Narnia or Lord of the Rings. In part it is a coming of age story, and part the story of good vs. evil. Long long ago, the inhabitants of the deep deep woods were given a choice. A choice that each of them in turn must make for themselves. Those who were about to make the choice would always face trials, temptations and fears. This difficult choice was either to follow the Silver Wolf and his lord, the Lightmaker or else they would join the dark Council and become part of the forces for evil.

    The choice has become all the more difficult for the forces of light have been decimated, and the Dark Council is at he door of eternal victory. It is the story of a young wolf, who must choose and has been left alone to make that choice.

    In this epic final battle between good and evil, the questions becomes is it really a battle of strength vs. strength, wits against wits, wills against wills. It is a path to the future but will that be a future in darkness and oppression or a path to peace, a peace won through sacrifice and pain. A peace hard won. This story is an allegory of the Christian life, told in a way that will captivate readers both young and old.

    James Byron Huggins was born in 1959. He is a novelist, journalist, religious activist, and police officer; all these titles appear on his resume. A graduate of Morgan County High School, and Troy State University, Huggins began his career as a journalist with the Hartselle Enquirer. In the late 80's he smuggled Christian materials into Romania. He was a beat cop for 5 years before returning to writing full time. His first three novels Reckoning, A Wolf Story, Leviathan were Christian best sellers. Then he broke into the main stream science fiction with such books as Cain, Hunter, Rora, Nightbringer, The Scam, Sorcerer. Both Cain and Hunter have been optioned to be movies and are suppose to star Stallone and Willis respectively.

    It was VERY good. As far as fiction theology goes it was insightful, and yet understandable. A rare find these days. Did you look it up? I'll have to let you look at it sometime... Are you going to camp?

    Hey, have you ever read or heard of "A Wolf Story" by James Byron Huggins? I just bought it... It seemed like a Tolkien/Lewis type story...

    I have read a lot of the same fiction that you have. Louie, Grisham, Flynn, Peretti, and I noticed that you have not read any "Jack Reacher" novels written by Lee Child. I am always looking for a new author, if you are "The Killing Floor" is the first, although it doesn't matter since they don't really build on each other like Flynn does. Hope you like him.

    Ya. I heard a whole lot of trash about the Harry Potter books, and was just avoiding them so I wouldn't get mixed up in it all... But Amy finally talked me into it. I read them out of order though, so that made it all a little confusing... But Amy made sure I started over at the beginning. And, like you, I only had to wait for the last one to come out. I read it the day it came out. Finished it that day too!

    BTW, I agree with you on Skin. It was good, but didn't quite capture me like TD's other books did.

    Well, some series' I put down as one when they were five or more.... And, I didn't know that you'd read the Harry Potter books. Did you like them?

    Man... I have, like, 100 more books on my list than you, and I'm not done browsing! Read fast! BTW, what did you think of Skin compared to the other TD books?
