A review by mamacrow
The Prophet by Michael Koryta

5.0

This is like no other book I have ever read! A crime mystery about the victims and how one violent act rips a family apart and breeds more violence and heartache. The character development is so strong, and so precise for the victims, though I did find it lacking for the murderer, but it really isn't about him anyways and that is why it is different. This is absolutely a page turner, and I just couldn't put it down, and couldn't even skip past the football parts, Koryta's writing is that good! And, by the way, I hate football! Lastly I will say this, I was in tears at the end, I felt THAT much for the characters!
