review 1: I was loaned this book because I am a huge fan of Lee Strobel's Christian apologetical books. However, didn't know if a work of fiction would hold up as well as the nonfiction. I would say the novel isn't too bad. Strobel tells an exciting story by drawing on his experience as a member of a megachurch and former career as a court journalist. The writing itself could be more nuanced and longer to develop characters and events more thoroughly, but it works fine. As a Christian, i like the tension within the pastor about what is the best path to make the most difference for God.
review 2: Took me a couple chapters to get into it and I had to keep flipping back to keep the cast of characters straight, but once I got into it I loved it! I found myself talking ... moreto the characters wondering how they could be so ridiculously dumb or congratulating them when they did a smart thing. So, I guess you could say, Mr. Stroebel succeeded in making his characters the type of people you cared about. Keeps the reader turning pages, especially mid-way through the book when you've got the story down and you want to see how Eric Snow, Garry Strider and Art Bullock will handle the situation. less
