¿Cómo distinguir la realidad de los sueños cuando siempre parecen disparatados uno del otro? Esto es a lo que debe enfrentarse Tom Hunter, pues cada que va a dormir despierta en un mundo diferente, con vidas muy distintas y en tiempos independientes, lo único en común entre estos 2 mundos es la destrucción que parece inminente y el único que puede detener la destrucción de ambos es Tom.

Ted Dekker es un gran narrador de historias, no te deja despegarte de ellas hasta que las terminas, a pesar de que la trama flaquea por momentos la lectura es tan fácil que eso se supera casi sin darnos cuenta, es el principio de una gran saga que espero poder leer hasta el final, ahora solo queda continuar con [b:Red|456028|Red (Book of History Chronicles The Circle, #2)|Ted Dekker|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266559279s/456028.jpg|444572]

Interesting concept, especially in the wake of Covid. The contrast between the modern world and the forest world was well done. This is pretty heavy on biblical themes and ends on a cliffhanger.

I didn't actually finish this one.

There was nothing wrong with it that I could put my finger on; seems well paced and well written. I just kept finding myself looking for something else I'd been looking forward to reading, and decided I don't have enough time to read all the books I really want to, why waste it on one I'm talking myself into?

Most Christian fiction starts with a bad sermon and throws some two dimensional characters around it. Ted Dekker typically comes up with a great (often trippy, weird or freaky) story and uses it to explore some theological and philosophical issues along the path to a strong finish- you know, like all the other good books you've ever read that deal with "great questions". Tolkien and Lewis also did this, writing Christian fiction that doesn't preach but instead dives deep into the mysteries of the faith if you have eyes to see but also just spins a really fun, great story if that's all you're in the mood for. This Dekker book is typically in the same league. He sets up a character trapped in two world, one "ours" and a perfect and heavenly realm that also claims to be "ours" and just as real. If you have eyes to see, it is a parable for The Fall in Eden, but it is great even if you don't see it or don't care. Dekker looks at one of his favorite themes (good and evil and how they relate) along with a bunch of Matrix-what's really real type themes. Good stuff. I - as usual - enjoyed reading Dekker's novel.
