The Handmaid's Tale: A Novel 560 reviews Margaret Atwood
Anchor, 1998
I wasn't expecting this!!!!
+ A 21st century 1984 by George Orwell + Great Review
This book was written very well. I had the creeps while I was reading it. It reminded me of the movie "Children of Men" and the book "The Giver". The entire time I was reading this book, I kept thinking of a certain female vice presidential candidate. I am afraid that she would love the form of ...

The Incumbent (The Madison Glenn Series #1) 3 reviews Alton Gansky
Zondervan, 2004
Politics, romance, murder and laughter-- It has it all!
+ A story with maximum suspense and strong Christian themes
I found this book to be a great and entertaining read with a few surprises that caught me off guard and a great line here and there that made me laugh out loud:
"I smiled, trying to picture gentle Dr. Jerry Thomas fighting off attackers with his rectal thermometers of death."
It was worth ...

Monster 152 reviews Frank Peretti
Thomas Nelson, 2005
Christian Horror At Its Best
+ Monster
People are being killed by a creature, which is covered up and blamed on bears in a novel by Frank Peretti. Am I talking about "Oath"?
Fortunately, the similarities to my least favorite Peretti novel end there (though I may be alone). While both fit into being horror, they are two different ...

I am not typically a fan of historical romance books, however being a homesick Alaskan I couldn't resist when I found Book 1 and 2 at a local bookstore. Tonight I picked up "Summer of the Midnight Sun" and I didn't put the book down until I had devoured each and every page in this wonderful book. ...

House 282 reviews Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker
Thomas Nelson, 2006
Almost great. Almost ruined by the preaching.
A very entertaining and imaginative horror novel with some great twists in the story and some good suspense. By about 300 pages in though, the novel becomes overtly Christian and starts to preach, a lot.
Without the cringe iducing final 50 or so pages I would have given this 5 stars. It gets 4 ...
