    <body><![CDATA[When I was at FSU, a girl came up to me in the public restrooms and started chatting with me.  She was very nice and friendly, but at the end of the conversation, just like that, she invited me to go on a Christian retreat with her.  I was very put off by this.  She'd maybe talked to me for 2 minutes and proceeded to invite me to a whole weekend activity as if we were old friends.  <br/><br/>That's kind of how this book made me feel.  Just as I'm getting to know the characters and their backgrounds, suddenly they start talking religion--they see visions and angels, have prayer circles constantly, and, in general, put me off.  Not that I'm not religious, and believe in angels, visions, and praying, but it just seemed too in-your-face to me.  <br/><br/>That said, I still think it's a worthwhile read and would be interested to hear what other people think.]]></body>
