I have yet to read any Dekker novel, but I have read each Peretti book. The book isn’t quite the caliber that I was expecting, though it did keep my interest and I read it through in about 3-hours. The last page of the book promises the movie adaptation coming in 2007. I hope it’s better than The Visitation’s movie adaptation. After reading this book I am a bit curious about other Dekker novels. I noticed we have a few others in the church library, so I’ll start there. (  ) navets | Dec 9, 2008 | I found the plot to be disjointed and the characters not very likable. (  ) readingrat | Jul 11, 2008 | Without doubt, one of the worst conceived and most poorly written books I have ever read. The set-up was right out of a Stephen King or Dean Koontz novel, and some of the happenings inside the house were reminiscent of plot points from the old television series, "Dark Shadows." But for all the promise of horror, there was nothing remotely frightening. I've packed the book away in a box and will read it again in a few years. Until then, my advice is - if you really have to read this book, borrow it from a friend or from the library first. Don't buy it until you've read it.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 159554156X, Paperback)A mind-bending supernatural thriller from the creators of This Present Darkness and Showdown. Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker - two of the most acclaimed writers of supernatural thrillers - have joined forces for the first time to craft a story unlike any you've ever read. Enter House - where you'll find yourself thrown into a killer's deadly game in which the only way to win is to lose...and the only way out is in. The stakes of the game become clear when a tin can is tossed into the house with rules scrawled on it. Rules that only a madman - or worse - could have written. Rules that make no sense yet must be followed. One game. Seven players. Three rules. Game ends at dawn. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:23 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

I listened to this on CD and specifically chose this book because I was curious as to what made up a Christian horror book. It started off as a promising story, but bacame cliched and drawn out. I disagree with a young girl in the place of a Christ figure. The authors tried too hard to get their message across. I kept listening out of curiousity, but really nothing jumped out at me as a reason to reccomend this book. (
