“The Brothers’ Keepers” by Matthew Peters Book Review

By Ruth on March 6, 2015 in book, review

Permit me to say from the outset that this is one of the most unusual thrillers I’ve ever read. I was intrigued by subject matter and the premise, and I certainly wasn’t disappointed by the way the author captured this. Being a committed Christian, I’m never bothered by any books that challenge my faith. In fact, sometimes I appreciate a good challenge. It reminds me of why I believe as I do.

First of all, it is important to point out that there is some profanity in the book. There are a few sexual references/innuendoes as well, but there is no detail on that. While I could have done without these, I would never mark the book down for this. Additionally, I struggled to keep all the characters straight. I would have loved to have some cast of characters guide that I could have consulted (perhaps there was one and I missed it–I was reading a review copy after all). But again, I wouldn’t mark a book down for this.

For me, the story was well-developed and full of excitement. The right amount of suspense and tension was maintained throughout. In fact, some will not enjoy the conclusion of the book, but I found that it was a perfect ending. There was no overly descriptive violence in the book either. It was evident that the author had done his research. In fact, I wish that I had known just a bit more about church history. I’m grateful I knew what I did, and the Biblical references and the way they were used was intriguing. If you are looking for a book that will challenge the views of orthodox Christianity written in a thrilling style, this book is certainly for you.

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
