This Present Darkness by Frank E. Peretti
4.0
Probably a 3.5. I'm a little torn. This was an entirely new venture for me. I've never actually read Christian Fiction, and that may be what made it so bizarre. It was an odd read...but I think it was quite good? It's kind of like rating a Christian movie. It needs to have it's own scale.
The only thing knocking down my rating a bit is the slow build up. Whether or not it was necessary isn't clear to me at the moment; it took me too long to read the first 150 pages.
All I can really say is there was mystery, suspense, and action. I cared about many of the characters, marked some favorite quotes and excerpts, and even got a bit teary eyed. And I do believe this book has had a positive impact on my faith. What more can I ask for? Maybe on a different day, this'll be a 4 star rating. Guess it depends on my mood.
