Judgment

If you liked the movie as much as I did, then you'll love the book. It's hard to put down and a great read. The characters Mitch Kendrick and Victoria Thorne and J.T. Quincy seem to be more fully developed here. And here ol Vicki is seen as a real femme fatale -- testimony to the Lalonde bros.' genius! As Mitch himself wonders, how can a woman so beautiful be so evil? During the trial, Vicki tries to egg God on by saying, in effect, "Come on out and defend Yourself, you & %$#!@* coward!" And He does, in the form of eerie silence which has EVERYBODY silent! It really makes you think about a trial in which God Himself is the accused. At the end of the novel, the Antichrist summons Vicki and that judge into his office and sends them to jail. Why? Read the book and you'll find out! Or even better still, see the movie if you haven't already!
