Scream by Mike Dellosso

Okay.
The idea of this story is awesome.
The actual execution of the story is actually pretty good.
Including elements of Christianity/God, etc., I have no issue with at all.
I just can't handle fictional stories that include random sermons in the middle of the story.
Now, don't @ me. I love Jesus. I'm a Christian. I'm all for authors including their faith in their writing. Just not as a sermon. That's what I go to church for. That's what my daily Bible study is for. When I read fiction, I just want story, especially in a thriller. Mostly because 99.9% of Christian fiction, whether it be books or movies, is horribly cheesy. Faith-based stories can be done well, but I have yet to come across one that can include conversations like the ones found in this book that don't make me cringe uncontrollably.
It's a shame, because this is a great book with a unique story and I love seeing faith protrayed in books that isn't over-the-top and villainous. Take out the random passages of sermons, and this is a 4-star read.
