PROS ... A good plot, but this book is only the introduction to an intended series. Interesting mix of characters though few are strongly drawn. Lots of action. Style written for middle graders.CONS ... Rather rushed. Too much action perhaps without enough fleshing out of the story. They rush from one deadly moment to the next. I never like to see God's name misused and sadly this book does. At the end of the book we still do not know the point of the Challenge. I am sure the author will relax with experience but I felt he tried too hard to write from a pre-teen POV, with the result that everyone bumps fists (do people really do that?), says 'cool' etc.This book has a lot of potential.
