Illusion by Frank Peretti – Book Review & Giveaway

Illusion by Frank Peretti

Illusion – Book Review

Imagine what it would be like to suddenly lose your wife of 40 years in a terrible accident… to mourn her loss… than to unexpectedly meet a young teenager who seems identical to her in just about every way…

Or to be a nineteen year old girl who suddenly discovers that her whole world has changed… that everything she remembers is gone… that somehow, inexplicably, she has jumped forward 40 years to a time when no one knows her… everyone thinks she is crazy… and it’s up to her to figure out what is going on…

This is the quandary that stage magicians Dane and Mandy face in Illusion – a suspenseful love story with a bit of a science fiction twist from publishing phenomenon Frank Peretti, known to many as “America’s hottest Christian novelist.”

Here’s what my husband, a huge Frank Peretti fan, says of this book:

Illusion demonstrates the deep bonds that exist between two people in love even in the midst of irreconcilable circumstances – and the lengths those people will go to for each other.

Overall, the storyline is quite good. The book holds the reader’s interest throughout.

Compared to his previous works, I thought that Illusion could have been more tightly edited. At times, I found the transitions rough and thought it was difficult to determine who was speaking. These minor flaws, however, could be easily corrected and should not stop anyone from reading the book…

As the plot of Illusion thickens, you will find yourself wondering how destiny will unfold for the protagonists – or if the characters are mere pawns in a complex and sinister conspiracy! If you’re a Frank Peretti fan – or a lover of unusual stories with a twist – you will want to add Illusion to your reading list!

    I forgot to tell you why I’d love to win, I read Peretti years ago, when he only had 2 books published. He was the original when it came to thinking about unique ways religion and belief work. I loved his books and was so disappointed there weren;t more. Now I’ve discovered him again but can’t afford to purchase books right now, it sure would be wonderful to win a copy! (after I read it carefully, I’d pass it on in another giveaway! )

      Hi Erika,

      This book has much more of a science fiction tenor to it than some of his previous books which had more dark spiritual overtones. So I think you’ll be ok – though I like leaving a little light on at night, regardless! 🙂
