review 1: The story of a young amnesia sufferer, Alice/Eden, who is kidnapped and abused by her birth mother for five years. What makes the offence different (or maybe it's more common than we think?), is that it is justified using God's name. This reminded me of the movie, Twelve Years a ...

review 1: I just finished this book and it was the first by Ted Dekker that I have read. I must say I was very impressed. Well written, easy to read... It was dark, without being "attractive". I would give it a PG rating simply because of all the blood references and the violence. It weave...

review 1: "Hacker" by Ted Dekker is a good book but by no means great. In a psychological thriller narrative largely played out in the human psyche, Dekker looks at the supernatural world and how it interplays with the natural world. He explores the unseen world and our hunger for knowledg...

review 1: I really liked the story, but don't like that there really isn't a resolution, though I knew there wouldn't be before reading. It just means I have to spend more money to find out what happens. I do like the characters and this brief introduction to them. It is intriguing and ...

review 1: Actual rating: 4 1/2 stars.Beautiful. Inspiring. Kept me on the edge of my seat with some awesome heart-racing action. The only problem I had was that, occasionally, the characters did things that didn't really make sense and that kind of bothered me. I'd give examples but spoile...

review 1: This is classic Ted Dekker in my opinion. He's a master at psychological and spiritual thrillers and this one was all that. It's not for the weak stomach though as he explores the evil sides of man. I wasn't too excited about the description of one torture scene near the end so I...

review 1: Heaven's Wager speaks about the supernatural revelations and visions that God can give us, those who serve him, and Helen does just that. It also passed down her generational line, whereas her daughter Gloria was able to know and see a little and her grandson, Spencer who is only...

review 1: I found the start of this ... very off putting.. I think it may have been easier to stay in the right 'frame of mind' had the story stuck with the 'main' characters at first.. and got us in the 'right place' before introducing new characters and plot points.I found the interactio...

review 1: The third installment opens with Eden finally coming to the realization that she is, by law, an adult. She even felt older. She "walked on water" right? Didn't that mean you had to face your fears to reach the shore? Everyone around her pays the price for sin. Except Eden. She wa...
