Book Review (Fiction): BLINK by TED DEKkER


Blink. You're in California. Blink. You're in Saudi Arabia. Blink. The two worlds collide. Incredible book, lots of action and loaded with concepts. It also lets you a tiny peek at a veiled culture. There are some scenes and concepts, though, that are bit hard to chew but adds to the overall weight of the book. Go read it before it becomes a movie like THR3E!

Book Review (Fiction): OBSESSED by TED DEKkER


What can I say? Reading this book will give you the obsession to savor every page and immerse yourself in the novel's world. Not as fast-paced as "Three" but has enough psycho-juice to leave you giddy. There are some improbable situations in the story but hey! it's fiction, suspend disbelief. I will be obsessing for more from this author!

Book Review (Fiction): THR3E by TED DEKkER


Once you've started reading this book you don't want to stop reading even if it's 3 in the morning! Near-excellent book. Why near-excellent? First let me list it's excellency: rivetingly fast-paced, suspense on every page, use of "regular" words (so I can concentrate on the story and not thumb through the dictionary), and a few good twists and turns. The not-so-excellent side of the book is its final twist; it lacked enough punch to throw me to the ground. Maybe I've seen too many psycho-thriller movies to be really surprised with the novel's closure. But all in all, THR3E is a worthwhile read. Enjoy.
