Finnaly new Frank Perreti Novel!
I just wanted to make a thread on this because there hasn't been one for like 6 years. It's called monster and I just bought it from Family Christian book stores. The one I bought was an exclusive first print so it might not be out normally for a while. I'm at like chapter 5 and I would say it's probably one of the best by perreti. Definetly one of his scariest to. About as scary or more then The Oath.

Awesome stuff! I heard about Peretti publishing a new book many months back and I can say I've been waiting a long time for it. I'm getting it today! I can't wait!

I'll probably put this on hold at the library...Can you give us the "backcover overview?"

Something's out there...
Reed Shelton organized this survival weekend. Hired the best guide in the region. Meticulously trained, studied, and packed while encouraging his wife, Beck to do the same. But little did they know that surviving the elements would become the least of their worries.
During their first night of camping, an unearthly wail pierces the calm of the forest. Then someone-no, something-emerges from the dense woods and begins pursuing them. Everything that follows is a blur to Reed-except for the unforettable image of a huge creature carrying his wife into the darkness.
Dependent on the efforts of a small town and a band of friends, Reed knows they have little time to find Beck. Even more important, he soon realizes that they aren't the only one's doing the hunting. Something much faster, more relentless-and definetly not human-has begun to hunt them.
Frank Peretti is at the top of his game in this ultimate tale of "survival of the fittest." Nothing is as it first appears in this thriller where things that go bump in the night are only a heartbeat away.

I prebought it! But I promised my younger brother that I wouldn't read it without him, so it'll be a while before I finish it. I read it to him at night.
Yay, Peretti!! and thank you for another good read!!!

No problems Dude! By the way, its W4J not W4C, but I'll forgive you! 
Don't you hate it when you're part way through a book and then you buy a book and want to read it, but can't because the other book should be finished first? That's the situation I'm in. I'm waiting to read "Monster" as I've been waiting 5 years for another Peretti adult book, but currently I'm reading Book 4 of the Otherland series and its a 900+ page book.
*Oh the humanity! Must restrain self... discipline is the key.* Don't spoil it anyone.

Scary as the Oath? Come on, that book was one of his lamest. So I'm afraid that doesn't bode well for this one. But I"m hoping, cause i do like 'most' of perreti's stuff...
His Strength was as the Strength of Ten, for His Heart was Pure

Hmm...W4C could mean warrior for christ...So it's basically the same...But yeah W4J I know what your going through with wanting to read a book while your in the middle of a different one...That happens to me quite often.

a new one?!!? yeah! oh. wait. my library at home is not going to be getting this for a while if it follows its usual track record. *look of pain* and i'm too much of a tight wad to buy the hardcover. *another look of pain* *sighs* guess i'll have to wait, or go in and bother my library people frequently...

I heard "The Visitation" on cd cause and I wish I had read the book instead. I don't really like hearing someone else reading the books, I like reading them myself.
It was a good book, though!

I started it and finished it last week. I thought it was very good, but maybe its because I'm not into really into Bigfoot but not a whole lot happened in the 400+ pages. I didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much as his other books (except Prophet). It was still good though. The first 50 or so pages and the last 30 or so pages were the best. What were some people's thoughts of what was going to happen.
At first I thought the Bigfoot was a just that - a Bigfoot and that people weren't wanting to talk about it because it was so ridiculous to them or that the very idea frightened them - like it was a superstitiion or something. Then the reader reads a bit about evolution and I had the idea that the Bigfoot were genetic experiments gone wrong and that they had killed the logger and hunters. But then it turned out to be very different! I'm glad Sing didn't die, that would have been beyond tragic.

You didn't like The Oath NamelessKnight? None of the others by him are really "scary" at all so I needed one to refer to. The first and last parts of the book are the best. The action on this book rises and falls and stays there then rises and falls and stays there and then finnaly rises to a final climax. A different sort of structure for writing a story. I couldn't put it down at some parts. And at others I couldn't pick it up.
