Red by Ted Dekker
Buy on Amazon: Red by Ted Dekker
When I finished this book (and finished wiping away the tears it inspired) my first thought was “How in the world am I going to come up with something different to say about this series?”. I couldn’t come up with anything different. So instead of talking about how the writing is and how the pace progressed I’m going to tell you about what this book did to me.
It tore me apart.
When reading something like this it’s easy to forget that this story has a deeper meaning at times. I got so caught up in the adventures and mysteries, trying to unravel everything that I’d repeatedly forget that I already know this story, albeit in a different setting.
It’s a powerful thing seeing the story of the gospel told no matter the setting and this was no exception. When I reached the last fourth of the book I found myself unable to put it down from horror and disbelief. But, like all of Dekker’s books, once I finished it I found that I couldn’t move right on to White. I needed time to digest it and to prepare myself for the rollercoaster his books give my emotions.
I think out of Green, Black and Red.. Red is my favorite thus far. It’ll be interesting to see how White affects me.
Aren’t Mr. Dekker’s books incredible!?! I remember feeling the exact same way when I read through the Circle series.
I actually just started BoneMan’s Daughters yesterday and it promises to be another fantastic read by Ted Dekker.
Hope you enjoy White!
