Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Riveting!
Review: A book such as this one touches on a realm that Christian fiction often doesn't address. Could it be called "Christian horror"?

I picked up this book at the local library after reading Malchus, another Griffiths book, and I was very impressed.

Mr. Griffiths style of writing is flexible and polished. Any of his works would definitely be worth reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Intense
Review: Awesome! This book starts at 100 miles an hour and doesn't stop to breathe. Griffiths takes us on a crash course with Gavin Pierce chasing after the menace, Krogan. An awesome Christian thriller with all the action you could ever want. This is a page turner, and then you want more!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Interesting concept, exciting story... but poorly written
Review: Fantastic! Read it in one day and during that time I was completely unaproachable. Great diologue, endearing characters, suspence all at the speed of light. Highly recommend it to anyone who can afford for a day spent in another world, because you'll be there and no where else. Just when you thought there was no other way to do time travel. ...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Shadad this book
Review: For those of you that didn't get it, the Shadad that Krogan keeps yelling is the Hebrew word meaning "to devestate or to destroy". So, how come a Christian minister can expell the devil? I think that parts of the story actually show that a Christian minister and the devil are on the same side. Just my considered opinion, if Amazon.com still allows me to have one!

Summary: Very Original and Compelling villian
Review: I have become less and less interested in reading fiction as of late because of it's perdictability and bland characters, but I must admit that Driven was a truly refreshing read. The primary characters Gavin Pierce and "Krogan" were original and certainly unpredictable. The supernatural undertones of the book were creative as well, and the dialogue throughout was very convicing. All in all, this was a fast-paced thriller with great suspense and it continually kept me guessing as to what would happen next.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DRIVEN
Review: JUST WHEN I START THINKING THAT THERE ARE NO ORIGINAL IDEAS FOR SERIAL KILLERS OUT THERE AND THAT MOST WRITERS OF SUSPENSE ARE JUST THOMAS HARRIS OR JAMES PATTERSON CLONES. BAM!!!!! ALONG COMES W G GRIFFITHS WITH ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL THRILLERS I HAVE READ IN YEARS. OK, THERE WERE A COUPLE TIMES THAT I WANTED TO HIT THE HERO (GAVIN) OVER THE HEAD WITH A HAMMER FOR BEING SO STUPID. BUT THE NOVEL IS THRILLING AND THE ENDING IS VERY CLEVER.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF INTERESTING CHARACTERS (AMY, BUCK ETC....)
AND THE STORY MOVES AT A FAST SMOOTH PACE. AFTER YOU HAVE READ THIS NOVEL YOU WILL NEVER LOOK AT A TURTLE THE SAME WAY AGAIN.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: childish
Review: Moderately compelling plot line drowned in boring characters weakly drawn and juvenile writing. Actually, for young teens it's probably a moderately satisfying read. Only managed to finish it for lack of something else handy to read. The second book (takedown) is surprisingly even more shallow and comes off as nothing more than a harlequin romance with a slightly better plot line. So bad I just couldn't finish it, which is a rare thing for me. Got both books because they sounded interesting and had strong reviews. Simply shocked by the celebrity reviews; what, did these people even read this book or were they just bought off? If you are interested in supernatural detective cross-over novels, give F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack series a try, they won't insult your intelligence and are a heck of a lot more fun to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Heart Pounding and Moves like the Wind
Review: The premis of hypnotically discovered past lives being anything but human reincarnation was enough to get me to buy the book, but the way I was hooked immediatly and held captive with characters whose lives I valued as much as my own earns this one 5 stars. Griffiths had me hearing, smelling, feeling and most of all believing in a world that enveloped me with each page. I'm looking forward to the sequel, which according to wggriffiths.com, will be out next Spring. Great diologue and the action, especially at the end, made me feel like I was reading a movie in the making. Highest recommondations.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Captivating, shocking, awsome!
Review: This book kept my attention from the first page to the last. I could not put it down and often found my self reading late into the night! The characters in this book are so real, so believable you almost expect to know them. By the end of the book you will feel as if you do know them. It is very well written and very creative. If you like a book that may cause you to rethink why things happen, what makes bad things happen then this is the book for you. I look forward to W.G. Griffiths next book!
