The Oath by Frank E. Peretti
3.0
This book was an OK book by my standards. I do believe that it could have been covered in 200 or 300 pages, not the 500+ it was. There were lots of dull moments in this book, places with absolutely no action whatsoever. And the way that God was suddenly put into the book? That's a big don't. I don't mind the aspect of God and sin in books at all, but you can't just say "oh, you need to find God or you are gonna die". If the aspect of God and sin had been put in earlier and more subtly, it wouldn't have been so bad.
The only reason why this book has more than two stars is because of the action when it picked up. Although, it took awhile sometimes, the action and horror of it were wonderful. Those are the main parts of the book that I remember. When this book did not have action to it, it was quite dull. And it would go on for chapters at a time. You need a little action in every chapter, not just two or three chapters full of action and then five with just conversation and nothing happening.
In the end, this book was not the best book I have ever read. It may be the worst, but I've read so many books that I cannot remember. If you don't mind books with long spaces without action and God suddenly thrust upon you, then knock yourself out with reading it. If you do not, on the other hand, I don't suggest you read this book.
