Title: departure from the expected
Review: I've read most of Lawhead's books, and while I was totally bowled over by Byzantium, this book left me wondering if a geographic change of domicile for him has influenced his writing.I finished this book only because I appreciate the way he plies his craft. The first 150 pages of the book are the hardest to get through: while being very realistic and probably appealing to the general public; I feel that the believer who begins to read this book will stop before the point of the story has been made due to being offended with the "in your face" details of the baseness of humanity.I do agree with other reviewers that this book has all the marks of being the first of a series, simply because the book ends with a beginning and does not complete the story of Patrick's life. It was not his best.
Is the review positive or negative?
