Crenshaw.Frank Peretti is one of my favorite authors. Nobody else on the planet can paint a word picture like Peretti. When he describes a scene, you can almost see it in all its detail, feel it, see it, smell it. His "Darkness" books are must-reads for any Christian, and kept me at rapt attention from cover to cover.Illusion is not like that. I suppose that, as a Christian, I was hoping that eventually Peretti would tie all the "magic" and miracles to what was going on into the spirit world. That didn't happen. In the end, Illusion is a sci-fi novel, through and through.That's Ok. I'm a sci-fi buff too, and have read most things from the masters like Asimov, McCaffrey, and the like. But Illusion just isn't that good a sci-fi story. You've got your pure-as-the-driven snow protagonists, your evil-through-and-through villains, a big honking, power-sucking machine, and the evil U.S. Government who wants to use it.Been there, done that. Finally, as other reviewers have said, the book does tend to drag a bit, spending too much timedescribing the details of Mandy's magic acts, and not nearly enough on the Indivdual relationships. Our two heroes spend way too much time being non-functional because of their past histories.That said, it's still a good book. I just felt it wasn't up to Peretti's standards.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.Slow, dull, hard to get intoBy mattI've always enjoyed Frank Peretti's works - I'm constantly recommending This Present Darkness and Piercing the Darkness to people still today. Prophet is near the top of my list of favorite books ever.So as I started this book - I really wanted to like it.The beginning just never grabbed my attention - I could take it or leave it. By the middle, I was so bored, I quit reading it. I finally muddled through the confusing ending and just shook my head with disappointment. This falls so short of Peretti's previous works that you won't even think it was written by the same author.The concept of the story is intriguing - I won't say much so as not to spoil it for readers. But the characters are so thin and dull that you honestly won't care enough about them to make the book interesting.The overuse of sentences like "I looked over there and it was she" got comical - I guess that might be grammatically correct (I'm no English major), but when its used on about every 10th page, it just sounds weird. Short choppy sentences everywhere, and every once in a while, its like Peretti is talking straight to the reader like a grandpa telling a story. The characters will be talking, then all of sudden it just says something like "you should have seen the place, it was amazing" ... not in character dialogue, but just a normal sentence - to us, as the reader, I guess I know that sounds confusing, but I found the writing style very off putting and nothing like his previous works.In Prophet, the characters are so deep and you really feel for them and understand them - in Illusion you get the exact opposite, paper thin, transparent and just not life like at all.The ending of the book is told in short one and two line paragraphs - sounds like someone out of breath telling a story .. "and then this happened... and then this happened.. and then...". The suspense never built up, the story was just kinda "there".If this is your first Frank Peretti novel - skip it and don't judge his works by this one. Start with Prophet, or the other books I mentioned - The Oath is great as well - don't judge the author by this one book as you will miss some great reading.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.Beautiful, CompellingBy Brad D. FrancisYou may well have heard that this is not typical Peretti. I would agree that, plot-wise, this is not about spiritual warfare or monsters; neither does it have a male protagonist. There are two central characters, one male and one female, and I'm not sure what the exact breakdown is between whose perspective is featured more, but I came away from it feeling more of a connection to Mandy, the female lead, and feeling she was the main character. It seems to me that most previous Peretti novels are primarily from a male point of view.So, from that standpoint, this is not typical Peretti. What does this share with his previous work then The greatest similarity for me is the fact that I couldn't put it down. While not as action-oriented as the Darkness series or as theologically thrilling as Visitation, I found the very human drama quite compelling. I was emotionally invested in the characters, especially Mandy, and the story never lost my interest. There is a supernatural element here (and it actually turns to sci-fi) but I think it would be a mistake to try to force a master storyteller like Peretti into too stringent genres or categories.The story begins with tragedy: a car accident has left magician Dane Collins without his wife and partner Mandy. We flash back to 1970 with young Mandy Whitacre at a county fair. A bit of a bump later, and she finds herself in a hospital gown at the same county fair but in 2010. Mandy and Dane soon find each other in modern days (he's 60 and she's 19) and the resemblance to his dead wife (but forty years younger) is undeniable. The plot is sometimes confusing but the central characters are real and their relationship and personal journeys compelling.It's not a perfect book. I feel like the sci-fi elements, which keep taking a larger role in the story after the halfway mark, actually distracted a bit from the real appeal of the novel. The author seems to feel a need to explain away the central mystery of the plot with psuedo-science and sci-fi technobabble. For all the ground level explanation, it never feels plausible and never really makes sense to me. It doesn't need to for the enjoyment of the story, so I feel like the explanations simply detract. I'm a fan of science fiction but it all feels just a little shoehorned in here.I also was a bit disappointed that the spiritual themes weren't a bit more pronounced. The faith of the main characters is almost incidental. There is an afterword by the author that spells out the main themes that the book contains; the problem is that the afterword comes across as a bit optimistic to me. The themes listed sound very good indeed, but the author shouldn't have tell the reader what the themes of the book are. They should come across clearly in the text itself. I don't think that Christian fiction needs to be preachy - please no - but I do like when something of substance is added to the conversation. These characters don't swear and they go to church (at least sometimes). When things get bleak, they offer up a prayer. So this is a novel about Christian characters but I feel like it would go a little far to suggest that their faith made much difference in their lives, or that it had much impact on the story. Take away their faith and the story remains pretty much the same. Some (most) readers this won't bother at all.This is a five-star review because I enjoyed the story immensely. Whenever I put it down, I looked forward to picking it up again. What we have here is a beautiful portrayal of human love wrapped in a compelling story with sympathetic characters. It's well-written, and I think it's quite good.See all 567 customer reviews...
