Three

Ted Dekker's book "Three" was just totally mind riveting. I had it read in 4 days because I could not put it down. I think it is my favorite of the books I've read of his so far. Granted all of his books have been excellent, and I would recommend any of them, but this one takes the cake so far. There are so many loops and twists to it, that when you think you have it figured out, trust me . . . you don't.

To give you a brief over view, the main character of the book is Kevin. He is a first year Seminary student, and his professor, Dr. Francis is his best friend. They get into debates over the good and evil natures of man, and Kevin's next paper is going to be on this subject. On Kevin's way home from his last class he gets a call on his cell phone from a man that calls himself Slater. Slater tells him a riddle and then tells him he has 3 minutes to confess his sin or his is going to blow Kevin's car up. Kevin ditches the car and 3 minutes later the car blows up. This was not the last Kevin will hear from Slater and this is just the beginning of the game that Slater wants to play. The only people Slater will allow involved in this game are an old childhood friend of Kevin's named Samantha and FBI agent named Jennifer.

What sin must Kevin confess? What is Kevin hiding from? There is something from his past, and Samantha only knows part of what her childhood friend, Kevin dealt with, but she knows there is more. She and Jennifer know they must get it out of him if they are going to stop this Slater, and stop this game.

Check out the book. You'll be glad you did. I'm sure you'll have it finished as quickly as I did because there is not a dull moment in this book. The game is constantly going, and you are wanting to know what is going to happen, or what secrets lie ahead.
