  Awful. I give it an 'F'
  
  Let Us Prey gets some pretty decent reviews on Amazon.com so...maybe it is pretty decent IF you are a fan of gratuitous, super-detailed rape scenes, splattering mists of blood and brains, barely fleshed-out government plots and revenge-driven soldiers who insanely act without cause.
  
  Admittedly, I listened to it as an abridged book on tape, however, Brannon's book is in serious need of more detail explaining the connections between the characters, including what some of these characters are doing in this plot in the first place. I was irritated at the lack of detail, but yet even more irritated at the insane amount of detail devoted to these items: 1) a visit of a 'John' to a hooker in Las Vegas; 2) an unnecessary rape and genital mutilation scene and similar descriptions of violence.
  
  In an abridgment, you should abridge the unnecessary parts, not the essential plot details!

  I originally read this back in 1994, when I received it as a gift for my birthday.
  
  Like several of the other books I read recently, I was just looking for something easy to read in a few days.
  
  Plus, since April 15 is approaching, a novel that includes a tax revolt seemed appropriate.
