My Opinion:
This was a book that I both loved and hated.
I loved the way the author told it, in a format that made you envision the story in movie form. The story itself is what I both enjoyed and disliked. I loved the premise of the four brothers being these heroes, but did their have to be such a religious connotation to everything? I felt that there was too much God Vs. Satan stuff in this book to really want to delve deep into the story. It was a little off-putting, and I read my bible daily.
The morals were clear and well-defined, but could have been told with less back and forth between Good and Evil. All the Lucifer stuff really cramped my style, since I am more rooting for the big guy in the white castle of clouds.
Just not for me.

~I received a copy from the author. I was not compensated for my opinion.~
Oooo I agree. I think that back and forth would put me off too!
ReplyDeleteThe synopsis sounds great but I would be put off for the same reasons you mentioned. Too bad the author didn't make it a little more straightforward.
ReplyDeleteSounds like one I'll skip.
