About the book:
"You probably want to hear about Jennifer and the demons and how I played chicken with a freight train and-oh yeah-the weird murder . . . you're definitely going to want to hear about that."
Sam Hopkins is a good kid who has fallen in with a bad crowd. Hanging around with car thieves and thugs, Sam knows it's only a matter of time before he makes one bad decision too many and gets into real trouble.
But one day, Sam sees them harassing an eccentric schoolmate of his named Jennifer. When Sam finds the courage to face the bullies down, he loses a bad set of friends and acquires a very strange new one.
Because Jennifer is not just eccentric. To Sam, she seems downright crazy. She has terrifying hallucinations involving demons and the devil and death. And here's the really crazy part: Sam is beginning to suspect that these visions may actually be prophecies--prophecies of something terrible that's going to happen very soon. Unless he can stop it.
With no one to believe him, with no one to help him, Sam is now all alone in a race against time. Finding the truth before disaster strikes is going to be both crazy and very, very dangerous.
My review of Crazy Dangerous:
I am so glad there are a lot of books like this coming out these days. These spiritual warfare type novels that such an impact, but can also be so entertaining to read. Crazy Dangerous was just that. I hate to say this because he has written a few books already, but I had never heard of Andrew Klavan before receiving this book to review and I am very impressed with his creativity and storytelling. This book is definitely appropriate for a younger audience, but us older folks will find enjoy it too.
This book was also a very fast read, not only because it was so well written, but also because the story was just that good. I wanted to see what was going to happen next. That is just the kind of experience I was hoping to have with this book, especially with me being a new reader of Andrew’s books. I liked everything about this book, from beginning to end. There are so many wonderful ways to explore the very relevant topic of spiritual warfare and Andrew Klavan is among the very talented authors who has done it well. Young and old alike can get a lot out of this story and be entertained at the same time.
Andrew Klavan was hailed by Stephen King as "the most original novelist of crime and suspense since Cornell Woolrich." He is the recipient of two Edgar Awards and the author of such bestsellers as True Crime and Don't Say a Word.
His books and screenplays have been turned into films directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Michael Douglas, Ed Burns, Michael Caine among others.
