“My first Ted Dekker book... to which I accidentally heralded in the sunrise. I couldn't put the thing down! I found it a bit desperate about 3/4 of the way through, where Dekker has Friedman go after his love and so on. Quite far fetched for a book that wasn't to be taken as far fetched. I did notice, however, that Dekker takes the time to intrinsically weave the characters into beings we can tangibly touch - a tangy trait that I eat up and look forward to in possible future books. The negative feedback I would offer is if he thought he successfully bred occultism into the story, he failed sorely. The mere mention or hint of a few things that are done in occult circles did not make it seen credible in his book. The disgust that he clearly wanted us to feel for Roth and his aged and decrepit father wasn't supported by the information he provided. Overall, a great read. I highly recommend you start reading in the early afternoon.”
