Review - Devil's Orchestra
Devil’s Orchestra by Sydney Molare
Genre: (quasi-Christian fiction)
Rating: 8.5 (see Echelon Book Ratings entry for key)
Review by Tavares S. Carney – “the Christian Page Turner”
Devil’s Orchestra – what’s in a name? The three main characters in this book – Tab, Deva and Juan definitely make up the devil’s orchestra. These three characters definitely played to the tune of their conductor. In this case, the devil. This is a good read for individuals staggering the fence of committing their lives to Christ. Not for the holier than thou crowd due to explicit language and graphic scenes used by the author to vividly illustrate both the acts of sin and the consequences thereof.

1 = I just simply could not finish the book for one or more of the following reasons: dull story line, very poor grammar, flow is waaaaaay off - in other words, how did this get to print?
2 = Too many errors, needs to be edited, disturbed my reading flow and couldn't ignore the common mistakes.
3 = Hmmmm, not a 1 or 2 but author has potential. May not necessarily read another book by this ... (more)

SYNOPSIS: Everyone thought the ten month courtship and marriage between Willie Green, the strait-laced pastor of the traditional Harvest Baptist church, and Vanessa Morton, the dynamo preacher-pastor from the contemporary Mt. Pleasant Baptist church, was too soon. Neither pastor realized that after the nuptials, all heck would break loose as they planned to combine their respective churches. The honeymoon abruptly comes to an end as Willie tries to maintain control of his congregation as the staunch Deacon, Charley Thompson, and a group of dissenters go to extreme lengths to keep their religious routine going at Harvest. Meanwhile, Vanessa struggles with the new balancing act of being a competent co-pastor and a nurturing first lady to her husband. ... (more)
