Book Review: The good, the bad... and the unbiased
Summary: 3 Stars
I happened across this book for free during an Amazon promotion. At the time I did not know it was a Christian based fiction, and it was my first experience with one. I was a little surprised to see that this bothered other reviewers, primarily because this is a personality trait of a character and doesn't necessarily reflect one's own belief. As readers of fiction we are always encountering characters that say and do things we would not do ourselves--isn't that one of the things that makes reading interesting and fun? Hopefully this review will be helpful to others with concerns about this type of novel.
This is a suspense/mystery type novel, though not terribly tricky or difficult to follow. If you are a lover of surprises and challenging suspense plots, you will probably not enjoy this for much more than a "light read" such as myself. The main character does develop a strong sense of the Christian faith in adulthood, in effort to help cope with personal loss and tragedy. This didn't seem all that unusual to me, as this sort of thing does happen in real life on occasion when people suffer through trauma. At any rate I never felt like the author was trying to force religion upon myself personally, like some of the reviewers mentioned. I was well into the book before I noticed any religious reference by the characters. About halfway through however, the author got a bit carried away and seemed to devote an awful lot of time to the characters' thoughts of prayer. I am sure this was intended to indicate that this is how they dealt with stress as the suspense portion of the story reached a pinnacle, but it was very redundant. She had already laid the foundation of the importance of faith to the characters early on, so the reader could easily infer that in times of duress, the characters would likely be looking for guidance from God. I found myself skimming through a good bit of this for several chapters because it was simply unnecessary and boring. Also, the author threw in a couple of comments by the main character Paige, about her disapproval of others skimpy clothing. This was weird and inconsistent with Paige's personality and personal history, rendering an otherwise likable character a little less believable. Perhaps these are some of the things that bothered other reviewers too and made them feel uncomfortable or offended.
Overall this was a light read and not overly suspenseful. It was great for a freebie and would have been enjoyable even at $2-$3. As far as the Christian content, it is a reflection of several of the characters personalities-especially since the story takes place in a small rural community where most of the thinking tends to be along similar lines. Sometimes it is just nice to read something other than what you're used to.
