Considering that this book is based on a true story, I had truly high hopes for it. The premise sounded enticing and incredibly interesting. But it failed short in delivery.
The Promise had me bored to tears at times, with interludes of excitement and genuinely good writing, which only showed me how much better the entire book could have been if the Author would have put a little more effort into the story.
The good part is, that it is not such an in-your-face Christian story, that someone who is not Christian could not get some value from it.
I just like my books continuously faced paced.
