A friend let me borrow He Waits and I am really thankful. I was wondering what was off about this read at the 30% point. It took me a minute, but I figured it out. It's the writing. It's so simple my 12 year old could read it. A wordsmith Faherty is not although it did flow very well. This read would have been better if the entire story was told by a child. Ron, the father in search of his children that "fell" down a well, was a real wimp and had a habit of over-thinking and making everything about him: his hands, his rib, his pain, and so on. The kids had more gumption than he did. The real downer for this read is when you find out what the "demons" with the red eyes are. Horrifying? No. You will not believe it. I know I didn't. Not my type of read~
