Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I picked up this book, hoping for a good read but dubious at the same time. Football and terrorism? And a new untried author to boot. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The writing is decent. The action keeps you turning the pages, and there is actually a plot. The protagonist is a Christian, which gives a certain dimension to the character and the outworking of the plot, and the author is careful to keep his "bad guys" human; i.e., complex. You can actually feel sympathy for the Muslim terrorist, while at the same time seeing how what he believes is destructive. I am going to have my teen sons read this -- it will be a painless way for them to learn about Islam (in both the "terrorist" and a "moderate") -- and on top of all that, there is no bad language or questionable scenes that I would have to remove. Three cheers for "clean" authors who can really write!!!
