Search - Skin

I thought this was a good thriller in the Stephen King/Dean Koontz vein. It also reminded me of the movies "The Matrix" and "The 13th Floor." There were seveal surprises in the book that I didn't expect including when the identity of "Red" was revealed. I figured out that the protagonists were in some kind of virtual reality early on in the novel but was surprised by what was really happening when it was revealed at the end. Overall I enjoyed the book and will probably read more by Dekker, however, I did find a some of the story to be repititious and tedious especially when the group was continually drawn back to the library and tried to abide by Red's rules. I think it could have been shortened by about 100 pages which would hopefully move the pace along more quickly.

"Don't trust your eyes" says the subtitle. This is a good story but he doesn't give Dean Koontz or Stephen King a good run for their money. Though this is a Christian author, this particular book isn't overtly written in a Christian frame. I really enjoy Ted Dekker's work normally, and this one was rather disappointing. However, it is STILL worth the read!

I enjoyed Mr. Dekker's circle series so I tried this out. It starts off with a bang but then kinda runs outta gas, gets repetitious, and in the final 100 pages picks up again. Some better editing could have sliced off here and there, making for a much tighter read. The end product while meandering around awhile is still worth the time to read a good science fiction/murder story that will leave you puzzling to the end.

This is one of his best books!

Excellent! The suspense started with the first page and kept going. Up to the last page of the book I was trying to figure it out. The twists and turns of this kept me anxious for more. I couldn't turn the page fast enough. Ted Dekker never fails.

THis book was a great read. first time i have read ted dekker and i plan on reading many more. this book catches your attention at the beginning and only gets better. I do recommend this book.
