Good read!

I enjoyed the book very much. The storyline was very good and I couldn't wait to keep listening!

Intense thriller that keeps your interest

This story really keeps your attention from the beginning where the main character is put in the postion of making a hoffific choice between keeping his family safe and saving the lives of several innocent children, too the development of what ultimately does happen to his family and how they connect, I could not wait to see what happened next. It was an excellent illustration of how someone could be pushed to do things he never normally would even consider. I was glad that the main characer did find ways to show restraint.

I will choose more books by Ted Dekker. I was only disappointed that there was no epilog at the end.

If you like intense, dark thrillers you will enjoy this one!

Language

For those concerned about language: As a Christian listener/reader, I strive to avoid books that contain offensive language. This particular novel uses God accompanied with damn twice by chapter 5. The first is chapter 4 (thought maybe I misheard) then again chapter 5. I have not listened to many of Dekker's novels so don't know if this is the norm? The couple I have listened to, language was not an issue.

Incomplete Ending

Decent story line but the ending left me hanging. Needed more details about Alvin life.

Didn’t like it

This story was all over the place. Some of the build up was pointless. The ending was predictable. I did not enjoy this book.
