I received this book through a promotional program with Tommy Nelson Publishers. I understood it to be yound adult (possibly older elementary) christian fiction. I found the book to be disturbing, with little or no relationship to the christian aspect of christian fiction. It is most certainly fiction. I won’t be sharing this book with my 11-year-old son. Young men in particular, I think, would find this book frightening, if not haunting. Since there is enough fear and evil in the world already, I see no point in voluntarily subjecting myself (or my children) to it in the books I read in my free time. Not a “re-read”, and not one I’ll share. (Dec. 2008 – Submitted on Goodreads)
