The Oath: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: You cannot put it down, cancel your plans for the day.
Review: I began reading this book on the advice of a friend, I soon realized the magnitude of this book, and twelve hours later I turned the last page amazed and humbled by the message this book portrays. It is truly a epic work examining the uncontrollable human affair with sin. If you read one book this year, read The Oath. You won't be dissapointed. It will haunt you for days and make you realize that not everything is controllable. I want to read it again.

Summary: A scary view of what sin does to us!
Review: This book is at times gruesome, thrilling, and shocking - but in certain places it drags out a bit. While I loved Peretti's "Darkness" books, this one was less satisfying, but still contains a vivid picture of how sin ruins lives. Check it out from the library rather than buy it though.

Summary: A Gripping Tale
Review: Fank Peretti has always been one of the best authors in the English language. He proves this once again in this novel that will keep you thinking long after you've put it down.

Summary: Wasted time reading this book
Review: I read all of the 'Left Behind' series of books, and this book was highly recommended by Amazon. Very disappointed. The plot is so far out that it is hard to keep reading. One of the worse books I have read in a very long time.

Summary: Forget the Christian subtext and enjoy the monster!
Review: This was the first of Peretti's books I ever read, and confess I picked it up because of the ominous-looking cover and blurb. That's also why I continued to read it. This book starts as it continues, scary, thrilling, completely beyond belief, and very very good. This book isn't a God vs. evil thriller in the same way as "Desperation" or "The Stand" is, but as a horror story it does quite well. Don't miss out on it because of the Christian subtext.

Summary: Do you believe in Dragons?
Review: Peretti grabs you real quick with a bloodstained lady in the middle of the road trying to stab a Freightliner semi with a knife! Going deeper into the story you find out that a town a long time ago when it firststarted made a deal with a demon in the shape of a dragon that runs the town! The townspeople know about it, but are powerless to do anything about it. Til some new poeple come into town and stumble into the path of the "Dragon". This is one of those books you'll read and not put down til 2 in the morning!

Summary: Not one dull moment!
Review: I really enjoyed this book and loved how Peretti describes sin. His style of writing is unique and his imagination is wild. This book brings into view the power of sin and proves how little control we actually have over it. We have our original first choice whether or not to obey it, but once were hooked, only the power and blood of Jesus Christ can set us free. I would have liked to read about more of Jesus' redemptive power in slaying the dragon than Steve's. I think God should have played a bigger role in this story. Overall, a good book.
