Review of In the End
[Following is a volunteer review of "In the End" by Ken Saik.]
Ken Saik's In the End is a work of Christian fiction that explores the concepts of camaraderie, faith, trust, and loyalty through a thrilling adventure story. The novel delves into the idea of how unshakable faith in God can help individuals navigate through seemingly impossible circumstances.
A dozen close friends make plans to party through the night in one of their garages. However, following heavy rainfall, the parents wake up to discover a massive sinkhole where the garage once stood. Despite numerous rescue attempts, the boys remain untraceable, and the worst is assumed. Meanwhile, the boys manage to escape the garage and come across a complex network of underground tunnels. They set out to explore, hoping to find a way back to the surface. After several days of scouting, they divide into smaller groups to better comprehend the labyrinthine tunnels. Tragically, their exciting adventure takes a turn for the worse, and each young boy succumbs to the tunnels' dangers. As hope and resources dwindle, they come across a journal containing haikus that describes a mysterious location called Vanna. Their faith is tested, and they begin to wonder whether they will ever reunite with their loved ones or find their way to Vanna.
I was enamoured by the numerous heartwarming moments shared between the boys. The author crafted a pure and exquisite portrayal of their friendship that made it impossible not to develop a fondness for all the characters. Each character was depicted with exceptional detail, with Perry being the humble and spiritual one, Sampson the leader, Jean the quiet rebel, and Victor the loyal one, to name a few of their amazing characteristics. Calvin's selflessness and unwavering affection for his friends were truly admirable, and the bond they shared was powerful enough to make one risk their life for another. Additionally, the characters' fear and desperation were palpable as they ventured deeper into the tunnels. The author's depiction of the fictional place Vanna as a heavenly abode was truly remarkable and left a lasting impression on the reader.
There wasn't anything I didn't like about this book. The unexpected and grand twist at the end left me with a mix of emotions that were both bitter and sweet. I highly recommend this book to young adults and those who may be searching for answers regarding why their loved ones were taken away by God so soon.
I gave this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because it was packed with suspense and had many spine-chilling moments. The book emphasizes the importance of having reliable and supportive friends and how loyalty can be a crucial and empowering trait in relationships. Additionally, the book was exceptionally well-edited and completely free from errors.
