Summary: needs more than 5 stars
Comment: Ted Dekker has the ability to take Christians out of their comfort zone. Is that a bad thing? No. As a Christian, God calls people to do so with talents such as writing Christian fiction. I read this book pretty quickly. You don't read a Ted Dekker book and say it's boring. If you do, you are a very tough customer and cannot be pleased. I can go as far as to say that this book will even play with your mind a little bit. Maybe even more. I have everything Ted Dekker owns. When an author such as Frank Peretti can make a recommendation on certain books, you know it's a good book. You don't even ask questions. If you are looking for a milk and cookies book, then don't read this. If you are looking for a read that will challenge you, make you nervous and make you think, then read this book. Ted Dekker gets his work from The Lord, and it shows in everything he does. Any more questions, just buy one of his books. Start with THR3E.

Summary: Another thriller by Ted Dekker!
Comment: While twenty-eight year old Kevin Parson is driving home in
his car on a summer day, his cell phone suddenly rings. Not knowing the terror that will result from the call, Kevin answers it. On the other line, a man named Slater tells Kevin that he has three minutes to confess his sin, or else his car will be blown up. Exactly three minutes later, Kevin's car blows up.
This is not the end, though. Soon, Kevin is being forced to
play a game in which a madman who is obsessed with threes makes all of the rules. In order to survive this "game," Kevin will have to revisit the horrors of his childhood...a place that he does not want to go to. Is Kevin really as innocent as he seems? Or is there something more to Kevin then meets the eye?
If you want to read a GREAT book, then you should read Thr3e! I really enjoyed this book. It had a fast-action plot and characters that were easy to understand and relate to. Besides being a thriller, this book also had a mystery that needed to be solved. Who is Slater? Who is Kevin? Read this GREAT book to find out!

Summary: Exciting suspense, but...
Comment: I bought this book because of the rave reviews by other readers, so my expectations were very high. I read many kinds of books. Christian fiction is something I especially enjoy when it is well written and leaves me with a good feeling and message when I've read the last page. That was not the case with Three. I don't like to say negative things about a book--especially one that so many other readers have loved--but since it was those reviews that got me to read the book, I feel I must share my own reaction. First, the good stuff. Certainly the main character, Kevin, came to life on the pages. The plot was exciting and suspenseful, and I'll admit I found it hard to put down. I was impressed not only with the author's writing ability, but also with the unique and very surprising ending. If I had been purposefully looking for a book that would scare me with the evil of the antagonist, keep me on the edge of my seat throughout, and catch me offguard with the ending, then I guess I'd be writing how great I found this book. If this book had been classified as "horror" and written by Koontz or King, I would have thought, yep, that's typical of their stuff. But I was looking for a Christian novel. The main character was a student in what was apparently an Episcopal seminary. Other than that, I saw nothing Christian in the book. I found it horrific and twisted--DEFINITELY not edifying or uplifting in any conceivable way. The only "message" if left me with was how sick a mind can get. I can contrast this unpleasant reaction with how I felt after reading some other Christian fiction, such as that of great authors like Alan Gansky and Randy Alcorn. When I finished Alcorn's books "Deadline," "Dominion," and "Safely Home," I was blown away by the message and the writing. I could see where these books might convert the hardest heart who would read them. In sharp contrast, Three is a horror/suspense novel, and to be honest, I found it distasteful. I gave it 3 stars because of the writer's talent.
