Review -- Thr3e

Thr3e
by Ted Dekker
Published by Thomas Nelson, 2003
400 pages

Summary: Kevin Parson is being pursued by Slater, a bomber who is obsessed with making Kevin confess his sins. As Slater continues to call Kevin with riddles telling where the bombs are, Kevin works with the FBI and his best friend, Samantha, to stop Slater.

Review: Thanks to Alexia at The Mommy Rambles for the recommendation (check out her great blog). This is a top notch thriller that had me absorbed in the story from page one. Dekker is great at heightening the suspense and really keeps the reader guessing. During the time I was reading this, I felt some of the scenes were a little long, especially at the end when two of the characters are debating the evil nature of man. Afterward, I read somewhere that this novel is considered Christian fiction (shocker) and then the debate made sense. Though it was still a tad too long, especially that late in the book, when you just want to know who the killer is. Rating: *** out of 5.

Friday Finds --5/29

I hope everyone is enjoying the last week of May. Can you believe it will be June 1st on Monday? Here are my finds for the week:

The Bronte Project: A Novel of Passion, Desire, and Good PR by Jennifer Vandever

What a great title, huh? Here is the Barnes and Noble description:
Young scholar Sara Frost's unsuccessful search for the lost love letters of Charlotte Bronte hasn't won her any favors at her university, particularly now that the glamorous and self-promoting Princess Diana expert, Claire Vigee, has introduced her media-savvy exploits to the staid halls of academia. But it's not until Sara's fiance suddenly leaves her that she begins to question her life's vocation and is forced to reconcile the mythology of romance with the reality of modern love.

I also won a copy of Boneman's Daughter by Ted Dekker from Bookin' with Bingo. I just finished Thr3e by Ted Dekker this week (check back for the review), so I am looking forward to reading his newest. Thanks Karen!
