This book seemed to just plod along for me. I'm not really into the psychological thrillers (but love those kinds of movies). This book seemed like Bradley learned a lot of information about this religion / cult / way of thinking, and wanted to educate us on it. It wasn't preachy, but there seemed to be a lot of characters that were only there to give their viewpoint on The Path.
I dunno, maybe it was just me. The characters seemed pretty well thought out, but the tension / climax didn't seem very big (strong?). You figure out some of the big ending, but there are still some twists. Bradley does a nice job of wrapping everything up (with room for following the characters to a new book, if it came to that).
If you like "ghost stories," with unexplained phenomenon and creepy things happening, with some mystery thrown in, then this book will probably appeal to you. I just never felt "sucked in" to the story.
