This was my first Ted Dekker book and overall it was a good one. The only thing I didn't care for was the fact that there were a lot of characters, some that were only mentioned here and there and at times I had to stop and try to remember who they were. Also, by the end of the book I really didn't feel any connection between me and any of the characters. I guess maybe I really just didn't like any of them. However, I thought the storyline was good. It was definitely a page turner. I finished in 3 days. I will be reading more Ted Dekker books.
