I really liked house and skin, and agree with Ugly, the house movie was great, much better than the film version of three.

Maybe they just got old for me because I read a lot of them all at once.

I found the movie to Thr3e really awesome actually! I really wish they would make a movie based on the Circle saga though.

I thought Thr3e the movie sapped all of the suspense out of the story. The book was an intense thrill ride, the movie was a poor man's Saw (and Three, the book is nothing like that). I much prefer House the movie.

As for Frank Peretti, the man does delve into the psychology of his characters - try The Visitation.

Peretti is a hit and miss for me. Loved the visitation, though a lot of it was just character story, and obviously The Oath and This Present Darkness were great, but then he would do something like The Prophet, which was extremely dated and more involved with the politics of the story rather than the story and its characters.

Yes, The Prophet is his only book I don't enjoy at all. Monster was reasonable but nothing amazing. The others you mentioned are very good though. The Oath used to scare me big-time!

i'm a big fan too, and yeah the circle trilogy is fantastic. i think the story was fine without the green "0" book, but it was also good.

Skin horrified me, kinda sorry i read that book.

on the subject of the circle trilogy, Jagged Doctrine, a Christian Industrial music band did a soundtrack to it. it's on bandcamp here:

 Black Red White - The Circle Trilogy | Jagged Doctrine

for "name your price" & streamable to listen to.
