Helpful Score: 1

"Monster" is a great book, there is no doubt about it, especially for established fans of Frank Peretti and, in general, Christian suspense fiction. The story tells the tale of a stranded hiker who is kidnapped by creatures in the woods. The characters are relatable and well-developed, there are plenty of twists and revelations in the story, and the ending is magnificent, but some (even Christians) might be too overcome by the bias presented in the material, and several spots where entire pages are devoted to complicated scientific talk the average reader probably wouldn't understand. Overall, though, this is definitely recommended!
