 uggg...ridiculous July 26, 2008

I'll keep this short and simple: This is the first (and probably last) Ted Dekker novel I've read. The book is horrible: the plot is ridiculous (and extremely implausible in the end), the characters are flat, and the narrative is amateurish...Anyone who gave this book 4 or 5 stars either didn't read the novel or will give 5 stars to a phone book.
 Great Beach Book July 26, 2008
While this isn't my favorite of Ted Dekker's books, it's definitely a fun read while sitting on the beach. The story grabs you immediately, and keeps you hooked throughout. I enjoyed trying to figure out where the story was going through all the twists and turns. Now that I've read more of his books, I also get a kick out where many of his books cross paths with each other. I think Ted Dekker is a brilliant and imaginative writer, and I appreciate his efforts in trying to get his readers to think about the underlying message of his stories. I also realize that many of his villians are exceptionally gross, but then, so is evil when it's exposed for what it is. This book is still a good read.
 Juvenile thriller June 23, 2008

I thoroughly disliked this book. The characters are one-dimensional and flat; the dialogue is excessively cliched, and the plot revolves around a sadistic serial killer and mind-altering drug experiments. The plot wouldn't have bothered me so much if the book was not marked as a "Christian" thriller. I can think of many ways that people can be introduced to the concepts of Christianity that do not involve reading (or writing) books this banal.
Skin Review June 22, 2008
Skin was a gripping tale of five people who are inserted into a mind game and must find a way to convert the "evil" in it. The twist is that these people don't know they're in a game! Ted Dekker spins an incredible tale of suspense and endless twists. I throughly enjoyed the whole book! I do wish that there could have been less bloodshed and more lives spared, but it was wonderfully challenging to solve and a gripping read!
Another great book from Ted Dekker May 28, 2008

If you like Ted Dekker, then you will love this book. If you haven't read anything from Ted Dekker, don't start here because there are references to his other works which will just leave you confused.
As with most of Ted's books, this is about good vs evil. The ultimate idea behind the book is understanding the "ugliness" of all of mankind, not just the obvious evil in the world.
Ted is a Christian author and delivers a non-preachy representation of man's sinful nature in a dramatic and compelling way that will keep you reading.
