Ok I've never given a book review before. But figured it would give me more to blog about.

So here I am to share about a book I read. It's been a couple months since I read it but its still in my mind often.

Adam by Ted Dekker

I had been looking for something to read and asked some friends on a message board I'm on. I was seeking a Thriller. This was the first book mentioned to me. And off I went to get it at the library. I had a slow start to it, that happens with me sometimes while reading. Course I dislike that as well. I'd rather get pulled in right away so I can't put it down. Now a lot of books would do this sometimes its *me* not the book.

Anyway this is a blurb from the book about it.

FBI behavioral psychologist Daniel Clark has been made famous by his arguments that religion is one of society's greatest antagonists. What Daniel doesn't know is that his obsessive pursuit of a serial killer known only as "Eve" will end in his own death at Eve's hand. Twenty minutes later Daniel is resuscitated, only to be haunted by those twenty missing minutes of life.

It soon becomes painfully clear that the only way to stop Eve is to recover those missing minutes by dying . . . again. What isn't nearly as clear is just how many times he will have to die to discover the truth, not only about Eve, but about himself. Daniel will have to face haunting realities about demon possession in the modern world-and reevaluate his prejudice against religion-to stop Eve.

First off reading that blurb got me right away. Seemed totally like a book I'd love. I enjoy thrillers/suspense/mysteries type stuff.

Now as I stated it was a slow start for me to the book. Reading b4 falling asleep like I do with anything. Ended up getting tired more then getting things read.

So I finally grabbed the book, sat on the sofa and finished it in either one afternoon or two. I don't remember. All I know is the closer to the end I got the harder it was to put it down. I was edge of seat kind of reading. I didn't want to get up for anything. When I finally got the book finished. I just sat there, mind racing. It was like my brain would not shut down. Fiction it is, but at the same time you wonder, "what if?" could things like that exsist and happen? Things like that. I have to say its the first book in a long time that really had me edge of my seat, excited to read and find out what would happen and at the same time made me really think about things.

I got pulled into the characters, feeling as if I knew them. And near the end I was surprised by a revalation.

All in all so far this is my favorite Ted Dekker book. I've read 2 others since and will put up a review on them sometime.

Thanks for stopping by to read, its not much of a review because I'm still working on the right way to give them. But overall I loved this book, my fave thus far this summer/fall.
