A review by janet
The Fiddler's Gun by A.S. Peterson

4.0

In reading reviews of this book, I noticed it was being marketed as Christian fiction, a story of retribution and redemption, etc. This turned me off, as I expected to get a pat lesson on God and Christianity when I simply wanted to read an adventure story.

Cast aside your trepidation, friends who are like me and are wary of didactic religious tales. This story does have adventure and soul-searching and redemption, but it's not at all obnoxious or condescending. The writing is strong, the vocabulary rich and lush. I was stunned at times by Peterson's imagery and look forward to recommending this book once I open my bookstore.
