I didn't finish this book yet because it is long, but of so far i have read, I think that it is very good. I like how Frank Peretti explains things and how he writes. I think that he is an excellent writer. When I read the first chapter of this book, it took my attention and I couldn't stop reading it. Even if this book is very violent and scary, I enjoy reading it. I think that out of all the Frank Peretti books I have read, this is the best one. Once you start reading this book, you will get addicted to it and you won't stop reading. THIS IS AN AWESOME BOOK! READ IT! I would rate this book a 10 out of 10.
