Interpretation Supposing Books Monster
Something's out there...
Reed Shelton organized this survival weekend. Hired the best guide in the region. Meticulously trained, studied, and packed while encouraging his wife, Beck, to do the same. But little did they know that surviving the elements would become the least of their worries. During their first night of camping, an unearthly wail pierces the calm of the forest. Then someone—no, something—emerges from the dense woods and begins pursuing them. Everything that follows is a blur to Reed—except for the unforgettable image of a huge creature carrying his wife into the darkness. Dependant on the efforts of a small town and a band of friends, Reed knows they have little time to find Beck. Even more important, he soon realizes that they aren't the only ones doing the hunting. Something much faster, more relentless—and definitely not human—has begun to hunt them.

Beck is not thrilled to be taking this survival weekend with her husband Reed. She isnt a big fan of the outdoors, but Reed thinks a wild camping adventure is just the thing to cure her of her nervous stutter. During their first night of camping, a horrifying wail pierced the night. Then something emerges in the darkness and chases them through the forest. The last thing Reed sees is a huge, hairy creature carrying his wife away into the night.The next morning, a rescue party sets out to trackI usually enjoy Frank Peretti's books, but found this one a bit different... took me awhile to "get into" it. But, towards the middle, and especially the end of the book, it is very hard to put down! The writing can be a bit gruesome at times, but is not too "over the top". Without wanting to spoil the plot, I appreciate the premise of the book: "Left to his own devices, man will always create a monster!" I tend to agree with that... except I would add: especially when man leaves God out of the
Peretti writes so simply, it takes you by surprise.Of course, I read the book for it's mystery. However, I'm a huge animal lover and the author got into the emotions of the great beasts in this book in a way that touched me.
Wow, wow and double WOW's!!!! In retrospect this book was not that scary, but when reading it you will say otherwise. What I thoroughly enjoyed was the build-up; this book was made to be read in either one sitting (cause you can't put it down), or you spend several nights reading it. The plot, the ideas, just the imagination and the research that had to go into making this book draw you into it at a much deeper level than I have in any other Peretti fictional piece. I was amazed and I think that
I was tryimg to wed through my books to donate some. I came across this book. I never read it so I figured I wpuld read it before donating. It was missimg the dust jacket so I started reading with no idea what the book was about. After the first few chapters, I was hooked. I never thought I would read a book that contained the mysterious Saskawach. I suggest you give the book a try if you are lookimg for clean, page turning adventure/mystery.
I picked this book up at the library without knowing anything about it other than the title and the plot as described on the jacket. They should really mention that it is christian fiction somewhere on the jacket. I got roughly half way through the book when it occurred to me that the Christianity was being poured on a little thick. I looked into who the author was and it turns out he is a writer of christian fiction. I wasted my time reading half of a book I never would have touched, because it
Plot Recap:I got very excited about reading this book when I read the letter to the reader that appears at the beginning and was written by the Publisher. The line that really got me read, As Publisher, Ive gone to great lengths to keep this novels key plot points under lock and key so that youthe readercould savor every page. The Publisher goes on to say that there are many turns and layers to this story and he didnt lie. However, I would have preferred to have more foreshadowing of some of
