Book Reviews of the Latter Days: A Novel
Customer Review: stereotyped, and oh-so cliche
Summary: 1 Stars
From all the recent hype, I checked out Latter Days as soon as I could, read it in one sitting, and absolutely hated it. The scenes, seperate from the book (as seen on in the movie trailer) is actually quite beautiful, but once it's put back into the novel and subjected to pages of plotless, mindless writing that has no moral and no endearing connection to the reader, the scenes lose their value. It's a cheap love story, the main problem being that the book is unable to convince the reader that between Christian and Aaron there is truly a love beyond physical attraction. It's shallow and uses the age-old, used and abused idea of the series of "miraculous incidents" in which, at the very end (and only by chance!) do the two lovebirds come together "as one". The author's stab is humor is pitiful, and the book is so horrific it may be hard to put it down. I highly recommend any book of Jim Grimsley's over Latter Days, which has as much value as a broken penny.
