They were still "mostly" pure, but irreparably tainted nonetheless. At that point, the evil hadn't yet made its way into their innermost being, and their condition was still far purer than that of modern mankind. Lucien longed for El, as he was created to do; however, the damage had been done and there was no redemption.LostDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347897084052207913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340757.post-53417222659674958512008-04-05T11:22:00.000-04:002008-04-05T11:22:00.000-04:00I finished the book last week.

It seemed inevitable that demon would "reveal" himself as a monster at the end, performing some dastardly deed, showing his horns and tail.<BR/><BR/>I was interested in the presentation of Clay as unheroic, dull, and quite dense, especially compared to Lucien, who is intriguing and remarkable. Yet the reader is drawn into the character of Clay, a more accurate representation of the human way of thinking and acting. <BR/>By extension, the reader is the "monster" at the end.<BR/><BR/>And now the reader now has a deeper knowledge of the truth that we are destined to answer for!LostDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347897084052207913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340757.post-19765511673289991182007-08-01T23:23:00.000-04:002007-08-01T23:23:00.000-04:00We're going to be reviewing this one in October on...We're going to be reviewing this one in October on FIRST...yeah, it looks great!M.

Like the angels thrown from Heaven's walls, we humans are both fallen and created. Easy to beat-up on fallen angels, but what a great tool for reminding us we're not so different. Looks like another book for my Christmas shopping list.<BR/><BR/>Faith,<BR/>fFrank Creedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635583213577356111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340757.post-51854650707516230612007-07-04T02:46:00.000-04:002007-07-04T02:46:00.000-04:00Thank you, Karri, for taking the time to read Demo...Thank you, Karri, for taking the time to read Demon--and for the thoughtful review.
