I checked this out at the recommendation of a friend - I can usually spot a hokey Christian book from a mile away. It did not disappoint. The characters were basically 2D and the writing was flat - if one wishes to write in a pious manner, one must also write stagnant and boring, apparently. However, it doesn't take much thought to read through, so I will probably continue on with the series (I'm a sucker for series) - it also reminded me of earlier days, when I was young and naive and would most likely been swept away with the story, instead of cynical and unimpressed with the holier-than-though theme found with perfect continuity throughout.
I found it particularly predictable and probably wouldn't recommend it, but it was good for what it was (not awful).
Maybe that's where I'll make my millions; I'll write a Christian novel with depth and an interesting plot.
