The Great and the Terrible, Book 3: The Second Sun - A Review

The Great and Terrible, Vol. 3: The Second Sun by Chris Stewart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow. Just...Wow.
This book terrified me to my core. I laughed, I cried, I stayed up late into the night, my heart pounding, as I turned the pages, wanting more. It haunted me long after I closed the book.
I'm dying to know what happens next, but I'm scared to know at the same time.
There were parts of this book where I wondered how the author felt as he was writing it. How painful it must've been to have these ideas in his head...how invigorating. And to speak so openly about Satan's minions....truly eye opening.

So...so good.
I highly recommend this book, but it is book 3 out of the series, so definitely start from the beginning.

Mar 2010; Mom: "Who wants to come with me to Sam's Club?"

Upon arriving at Sam's, Peter, with a disappointed look said: "I thought we were going to Santa's club. Where are the elves?"

Dec 2009; Peter said: "I just love my chocolate raindrop pointy fings." (hershey's kisses)
