I'm rereading this series as audiobooks starting this book 8/9/16
I'm reminded why I enjoyed these books! ( )

This book is very exciting and emotional, and is very hard to put down! The is a lot of suspense and it has a Christian background. It is an amazing book and I would heavily encourage anyone who loves a mind-bending book to read it. 5Q4P The cover art is okay and I'd recommend it to high school students and adults. I chose to read it because I have been reading the series and I love it! AriannaF

I wasn't quite as impressed with this book in the series, but it was still enjoyable. Dekker didn't go nearly as in depth with the character of Elyon as I would have liked and the messiah character wasn't developed nearly enough. I've also found that I don't care nearly as much about the "Bangkok" reality and the threat to the world in the form of the virus. In all, it was still a worthy read and I look forward to reading the next book. On that note, Green was recently released and I'm a bit disappointed that Dekker has gone the way of many authors who have a good thing and then ruin it by creating bunches of new books ("The Lost Books") and then not ending a series when they say they will (that's for you, Paolini!) But, I haven't completed White and I'm giving it a chance. We'll see!!

A life turned upside down and inside out is the life of Thomas Hunter. As he teeters between two not-so-different worlds, Thomas finds himself racing against time to advert destruction. In our world, it is a race to find a cure for the Raison Strain-a virus that has annihilating properties. A monumental battle against the ever-imposing Horde is on the horizon as the Forest people begin falling apart at the seams in Thomas' dream world.

Ted Dekker's second book keeps the reader completely engaged. It is a fast moving storyline on both world accounts. In the midst of journeying with Thomas' characters between the two worlds, the reader begins to contemplate which world is the real world and which is the dream world. The characters are well-written and believable. It is easy to relate to the characters as exciting to see them develop even further. Dekker's writing pulls the reader in to the point of feeling in the middle of it all. It is a book packed with action, sacrifice, suspense, and above all, love. Though this book has Christian undertones, it can easily be enjoyed by any reader. This is a book I would recommend to anyone who enjoys fantasy and suspense. ( )
