The narrative feels a bit stilted to me, and not exactly like that of a teenage boy. In fact, at times, the story veers into a discourse on the Christian principles of dating, especially with long stretches of dialogue that didn't feel believable.
However, this book is still a good primer to a Christian approach to relationships (I think, because I've never been in a relationship since I'm waiting for God to speak), even if the plot does seem far-fetched. Beware though, it's really more suited to the Christian reader than the non-Christian.
The next book is actually a short story called Writing Critique: A Horror Short Story by Rebecca M. Senese. There's nothing I can actually say without giving away the entire plot, but I will encourage you to read it because I think it's a good humor-approaching-satire of a writing group/writing circle.
So yes, go and check this site out, especially if you have an e-reader like an iPad, where you can't download the kindle app (at least for me, since I'm not in the States)(:
This book was nothing like i expected it to be. It had a lot to do with God. But i did not mind that at all. This story sucked me in and made me feel as if i was in the story. This books speaks about a lot about temptations and what it means to abstain from making love before you are married. There were also small suspensful parts that made you want to hurry up and turn the page. I loved the ending, it brought tears to my eyes. Great book for teenagers.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great for showing how it's possible for teenagers to abstain before marriage (and how that doing so doesn't cheapen love), something that's quite sorely lacking in most YA books(:
