Review: Strong negative views of 'church'
Rating: 3 out of 5

Excellent plot idea with a decent amount of suspense, likeable characters and good writing.  I would have rated this much higher if the whole Christian lunatic role hadn't been drilled in like crazy.  The portrayal of the church was disturbing and offensive and it ruined the whole book for me.  Giving the benefit of the doubt to the author, I read on, hoping for some kind of explanation (the 'church' Jude attended was actually a cultish organization or Jude was hallucinating or some crazy thing...anything), by the conclusion of the book, but there were none to be had.  Too bad, it was a good book except for that one thing.
