Love it! I read somewhere Philip was asked what this book was about and responded with "what happens when Sarah Palin is elected president." The book is a distopian young adult novel. It centers on a young woman on a journey of self discovery and self revelation. This book depicts three brutal murders and illustrates live with fear. The government is controlled by the elected leader, a conservative religious zealot, and her right hand man, the head of their faith. The Holy Man is missing when the novel begins and through out it the main character and the reader are left trying to figure out what exactly happened to him and to everyone else around him. The religious community has high esteem for a missing serial killer who disappeared years ago, but eventually the reader is let in on this secret as well. I particularly enjoyed the ending because we're left not knowing whether our heroine makes it out safely to her brother and lover. Thumbs up for a quick and easy read about the horrors of conservative Christianity taking over the government.
