The Ishbane Conspiracy Book

I am 15 and I am a devout Christian and a fan of many Christian books (such as the CS Lewis). I am also an avid reader. However, this was a terrible book! The characters were very shallow, and their lives were rediculously disasterous. The demons were, in my opinion, not very bright, but the characters were even worse. I hated them, and by the end, I was rooting for more disasters to happen to them, so much did I hate them. The author had some wonderful points and messages to send, but I would rather he had told them to me straight out in a sermon than in this lame attempt at fiction. I'm sure he is a wonderful pastor, but he, at least in this book, is not a good novel writer. Had this not been required reading for private school, I would have quit long before the end. I just can't figure out what other people see in it! Even the theology was not particularly sound. In my opinion, it encouraged the view that you can blame all of your problems on demons that are constantly watching you. I hear this is just a "modernized" copy of CS Lewis's Screwtape Letters. In this case, I would say, stick to the classics.
