Dirty Eight

WOW. just finished reading Skin by Ted Dekker.

Funny thing about reading Dekker's books is the sense of deja vu I get when I read them. I sometimes complain that his books are too much the same so that you can't really tell if you've read them before, or if they're too predictable or what the deal is. Kind of the same feeling I get when I read Stephen Lawhead.

And yet I keep reading.

Skin was very similar to several of Dekker's latest books in theme, but the actual storyline is crazy out of this world. I figured out some of the twists and turns, others were beyond my fathoming. And despite all my griping, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough (in fact, I snuck ahead and read the last two pages and still couldn't figure it all out!)

Bottom line? They'd so better make this into a movie. It's billed as a sort of a horror/thriller but I think it fits in more with iRobot, Paycheque and the Matrix. Way rad.
