The Way of The Thorn

From Library Journal Drawing on the biblical imagery of the thorn in the flesh, this is an obvious and unimaginative allegory. Jack Avery, a floundering Christian, must walk the supernatural "Path of Faith" with an angelic guide on a "Journey of Honest Reckoning." Of the myriad trials and tribulations assaulting him while en route, none is surprising, but some of the metaphors are cute. For example, Jack is hindered by four elflike creatures who are physical manifestations of his misguided thoughts and beliefs. Still, the cleverness can't compensate for a lack of tension that results in a tedious read. Too many rookie mistakes by debut novelist Trementozzi (Finding Hope in Desperate Times: Devotional Poems and Prayers) prevents this from succeeding as a helpful guide to spiritual development and growth.
