Airtighty, so I've read my first full free-read book since entering college. I have to say I'm surprised by how hard it is to find free time. I'm getting the hang of it now and have just finished the book "Eyes Wide Open". I started this book as a free demo on ibooks. I fell for the trap, I know, It's sad but the book was really good and I enjoyed it thus far so it was worth the scam. I love all Ted Dekker books. there is not a single novel of his I have disliked thus far. The man is just brilliant. The thing I like most about this book is nearly all of them are connected somehow. He has his own universe created and every novel falls into it. I was, once again, amazed to find that at the end of the book that I had read a character before. Everyone is liked and connected.
into a mental rehabilitation center. Why? Because they knew too much of corse. Throughout their attempts to escape and get back to their lives the two are made to think in a different way. What if they are crazy? What if everything is a dilution? Is any of this real? Did I really make up that life I claim to have? It was very powerful and messed with my head a lot.
This book argued good vs evil (as all of the lovely Dekker's books do) as well as the laws of nature vs the laws of God. I really enjoyed this novel and it is a great read for anyone really unless yo dislike thinking during your off time. If you don't like to think I suggest turing on "Two and a Half Men" and relaxing for a bit. If that doesn't strike your fancy, pick up this book somewhere. The more Dekker Books you read, the more they all make sense. It is a wonderful thing, I swear.
So, I'd give this book 4.5 / 5 stars. I don't really give 5 /5 stars generously. But the book was amazing, I really enjoyed it. I may have to purchase a hard copy so I can admire it on my shelf...One can never have enough Ted Dekker novels!
