Change of Heart

I don't know about this one.
The whole 'is the criminal the messiah' thing was a bit much for me. Too much left unexplained - grown man with a compatible heart for an 11 year old girl - birds (and men) coming back to life. I thought the step father might have been molesting her so that wasn't a twist for me. Part of me does like the idea that we can draw our own conclusions and the other part thinks that that's easier than to explain it plausibly. Jodi raises some interesting ideas about how we would react to a second coming but for me there was probably a bit too much imagination and not enough believability.

Tick Tock

It has been soooo long since I finished this book. I do remember forcing myself to read it to the end. I think I just needed to see how an evil doll that magically comes to life and grows through the night could be explained plausibly. I actually found the notes at the back about how Dean formulated the story much more interesting than the story itself... but then science fiction is probably not my thing.
