I will be starting this one soon. My goal in November is less TV and more reading.

I've just started reading this one.

I finished this one at about 2am this morning. When I hit the last stretch in the book, I didn't want to put it down, LOL!

First: the characters. While I sometimes don't like a book with loads of characters vying for attention, I have to admit this one wasn't like that; not at all. The main characters were the focus, the secondary characters were in the picture but not overbearingly. I found each intriguing and complex with their own set up troubles/faults/anxieties.

I thought the plot was rather good. The beginning of the end-of-days, the characters need to become a team to vanquish evil. I found the plot a little slow at times, mostly when the main characters were dealing about their personal issues. The action was great, however, which more than makes up for it.

If anyone else has read this, there is a part in the story I'd like to discuss, because I got confused a little. Not that it's a bad thing; I just couldn't understand why that scene went down the way it did.

I'm reading this one - I'm about halfway through. I like it so far.
