Book Reviews of Blink

I loved this book. IT was a facinating look at a princess that runs to America to get away from the customs that want her to marry someone she despises. IT was very interesting how the author gets behind the eyes of this woman that has been hidden behind all this cloth. When she comes to Amaerica and removes all that material from her body and is exposing herself for the first time it is amazing to read the emotions behind that transformation.
This story is a definately page turner. Many twists and turns. Very action packed. You will be up all night reading this great story.

I really liked this book. The main characters are likeable and the pace is fast enough to keep you turning pages, but not so fast that you get left behind! I believe anyone interested in the spiritual aspects of the book will be well pleased. Seth and Miriam both progress spiritually throughout the story even though it remains a conflict between them through most of it. The story of the Saudi princess trying to escape the bondage placed on women by her faith and her country is a pleasing one and you will find yourself rooting for her from the beginning! Great story and well worth the read! You won't want to put it down so it should be a quick read, but pleasing!

Oh my goodness, this book is good! This is the first book by Dekker that I have read, and I found it very hard to put down. I made the mistake of swapping my copy on this site a while ago, so I have now gone and requested it from someone else so I can read it again! I don't usually reread fiction books, but it has been about a year since I read this one, and I was really wishing I hadn't swapped my copy. Go ahead and request this book, but I don't think I'll turn loose of my copy again any time soon!

Unlike any book I've ever read. Action packed!

This is Ted Dekker at his best. He kept my interest all the way through even if it is a little different story line than I usually read.

I really enjoyed this book. It is fast-paced and has a good plot. Maybe not super realistic but a great story!

Fairly good, though a bit preachy at times. If you like Dekker, then this should be a good read.

Ted Dekker weaves an impossible tale and somehow makes it seem possible!

exciting

Ted Dekker is not my type of writer, but his books keep drawing me in. They are great Christian mysteries. You'll never guess the ending.

The future changes in the blink of an eye...or does it?

Seth Borders has a world-high IQ. Then he gains an incredible power-the ability to see multiple potential futures. He uses this gift to save a beautiful Saudi Arabian princess...and himself.

Some more Christian fiction from a friend. Here's the synopsis: An intoxicating tale set amidst the shifting sands of the Middle East, Blink touches on geopolitical conflicts as ancient as the earth itself. The page-turning plot follows a Saudi Arabian princess fleeing a wretched forced marriage for the promised land of America. A brilliant American graduate student discovers a mysterious power-giving him glimpses into the future. Thrown together, they become pawns in a struggle for power and must manipulate the very future in order to save themselves. In his most riveting novel to date, Dekker brings the story to a dramatic climax that will change the future of fiction in the blink of an eye. Ted Dekker is Christian fiction's hottest author, with applause increasing from fans and reviewers alike with each new release.

Excellent Christian thriller. I couldn't put it down.

Don't blink while you read this one - concentrate.

Another Dekker thriller.

fasinating!

Good story, interesting plot.

Amazing story. Wowed by it. My first of Ted Dekker and definately not my last.

This was a great book! Ted Dekker did it again! I found it difficult to get into at first, but once you get past the 2nd chapter, you are HOOKED!! You have to love a "Happy Ever After" type ending!

Edge-of-your-seat suspense. Very good!

This was the first book I've read of his, and I loved it! Very good!

Up all night with this one, I was actually holding my eyes open with my fingers to see what was going to happen next!

Seth Borders isn't your average graduate student. For starters hehas one of the world's highest IQs. Now he's suddenly struck by an incredible power - the ability to see multiple potential futures.

Still reeling from this inexplicable gift, Seth stumbles upon a beautiful woman named Miriam. Unknown to Seth, Miriam is a Saudi Arabian Princess who has fled her veild existence to escape a forced marriage of unimmaginable consequences. Cultures collide as they're thrown together and forced from an unstoppable force determined to kidnap or kill Miriam.

Ted Dekker not only has a great imagination he has a great understanding of the Arab world and their culture and creates a very true and real tale that will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat!
