Title: like a violent action movie
Product review: Andrew Klavan's "Hunting Down Amanda" is a thriller with sci-fi overtones, involving the heavy use of heavy weapons. Although the protagonists are wounded souls who are well drawn, the plot reads too much like a screenplay for an action movie. The bad guys are all bad, and there is no redemption for them. As in Klavan's most recent book, "Man and Wife", a character becomes almost a Christlife figure, giving up his own life for another.As the plot unfolded, I began to hope that Amanda would use her special gifts to heal the bad guys, to change them into loving and life-affirming characters. That would be the greater miracle, and a more ingenious plot twist than those Klavan has concocted!
