Summary: Okay, now I get it
Review: I have been hearing about Ted Dekker and how intriguing his books are for about a year now, and after having finished reading Thr3e the other day, I finally get it. I am an avid reader, but a slow one, normally, but I read this in less than two days because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Rarely has a book been so absorbing to me (C. W. Tooke's Ballpark Blues was another instance where this took place) that I would lose a bit of sleep to keep on reading.

The pacing of this book is at a breakneck speed and there rarely seems to be a lull in the action. Whether it's creepy phone calls with bizarre riddles being spoken by the mystery man on the other end, exploding cars and buildings, or the notion of good versus evil that is interjected throughout, this is a creative and entertaining piece of fiction that takes you on a wild ride. You will have to understand how to suspend your disbelief a bit if you are to truly enjoy this, but if you can do that, I believe you will enjoy the ride because it is a doozy. It makes you think about how each of us struggles against the forces that try and destroy our lives and how we deal with our own demons, and so this book also goes beyond mere entertainment in that way.

This was a solid read that I recommend for folks who are fans of the Frank Peretti brand of Christian fiction, as both are in a league that outshines many other writers in the genre.
