Rating: Summary: Smart page-turner! Review: This is the best book I've read in a long time! The characters are very real, the dialogue is terrific and the plot is interesting and complex, yet it moves quickly. The theological stuff is not black and white -- it is murky and I could relate to it because of that. It asks questions that I think most people ask, even if they don't ask them out loud. Good and Evil is not black and white. Even the protagonist can't figure out whether he is a good guy or a bad guy. The reader is left with that question as well. All in all, I felt that reading this book was time well spent.
Rating: Summary: Skip this book Review: Using rather pedestrian prose, the author attempts to push her own agenda regarding what is wrong with the Catholic Church, the "evils" of capital punishment, etc. at the expense of any suspense and interesting plot developments.Many scenes were virtually copied from _The Exorcist_. Skip _Dark Debts_ and read its vastly superior inspiration.
Rating: Summary: I just can't seem to put it down Review: Very good book!!!! I could feel the characters pain. The book was just great.
Rating: Summary: Laughable Review: What an astonishingly silly book, chock full of stock characters shrieking sitcom dialogue. What a let down after these positive reviews.
Rating: Summary: Different, engrossing Review: When I started reading this book it was slow going at first. Then as the plot started falling into place and the characters linked to one another it was an engrossing read. A very different approach to the subject of religion. It did get a little cheesy and tiresome in the end but all in all it was like nothing I have read before.
