Title: Terrible
Review: An awful thriller! This book wants badly to be more than a thriller and ends-up very long and dopey. Forget the plot and clumsy writing, the characters are the pits. The religious ideas in this novel are truly weird and it appears the author is bent on selling New Age philosophy. Certainly his messiah is right off of Hollywood Blvd. I don't know what this fellow's problems with Catholics is, but hundreds of pages that have little to do with the story go after them incessantly. It was not a pleasant reading experience, nor an uplifting one. In fact, it's an amazing example of how bad a really bad novel can be. I didn't need to know that, but lousy writing and goopy philosophizing actually excite some readers.
