Review of 'The Survivor' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I don't know what I was expecting but I didn't come away feeling very much. I think the overly mystical nature of things dampened it for me somewhat, though several scenes were fairly chilling for me, particularly the eighth and twentieth chapters. I also liked Keller's eyes opening to religion and, were I to ever find any sort of faith as unlikely as that may seem, I'd want it to happen in that way.(it's near the opening of Chapter seventeen out of interest).
