At first, I didn't mind this book. But as it got into the whole Christian aspect, I really got bored. Although a Catholic, I felt that it was a bible lesson shoved into a poorly written story. Theres nothing wrong with that, although the plot lines could have been better, I did like Paul's descriptions of things. I felt as if the story was just thrown together at the last minute, and didn't enjoy this book. The characters could have used more description, and its quite pointless to have a map unless the characters travel across the whole area. I wouldn't recommend this book, only to those who wish to be bored out of their minds.
