Book Review of Riven

Riven
wyoreader avatar reviewed on + 12 more book reviews


Read this book. You will think much of it is predictable, but few books have made me think like this one has. Poor kid with a bad (almost non-existant) homelife grows up, gets in trouble, goes to jail - death row. Predictable. Soft-hearted pastor taken advantage of by manipulative people in his congregations becomes a prison chaplain. It provides some stability in his life. Predictable. The title is "Riven." Look up the definition. This is what your heart will feel like when you finish this book. Very UN-predictable.
