All 500 pages of this Peretti novel were devoured by me yesterday and into this morning. I read the first 150 pages during the afternoon between Sunday morning services and Sunday evening service.
When Jess and I came home from church we decided NOT to watch any television, but to involve ourselves in our books!
At about 10:30 Jess gave up trying to stay awake to read, so I headed back out to the living room with the light over my shoulder, I continued to read, and read some more, and read some more.
I finished this morning at about 2AM. Altogether, I spent about 6 hours reading this book.
The book was VERY different than normal Frank Peretti books! I expected the “monster” to be somewhat of a Spiritual being, sent to earth to wreck us all. That was not the case at all.
Peretti DID show his typical-self in the arena of keeping my attention. I can remember reading “The Visitation” with a simliar reading-habit of not putting the book down until I finished.
I have already passed the book on to one of the ladies here in the office and when she is done, I’ll see if my wife will actually give it a try!
