"Tilly" by Frank Peretti: A Review

Wow, this 128-page book by Frank Peretti had a poor plot, uncreative writing, absolutely no character development, and a horribly disjointed theme with blatant inaccurate facts imbedded in it. Whew, that felt good to get off my chest. First of all, the characters can only be compared to paper dolls due to how flat and dull they are. Everyone in the story, including Kathy, Dan, and Tilly, had only one or two personality traits that …

…that a professional storyteller would tell you to avoid: flat characters, a nowhere plot, and factual contradictions. I found no great quality in this short story at all, though it was supposed to have made me look at the abortion controversy through the eyes of an aborted child. It was not entertaining, and it certainly didn't make me think about anything, only how much I wanted to re-write the entire novella myself with actual skill.
