REVIEW: IDENTITY BY TED DEKKER

IDENTITY

EYES WIDE OPEN PT #1

TED DEKKER

GENRE: SUSPENSE/THRILLER

SYNOPSIS: Identity is Book 1 of a four episode thrill ride from New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker.
Who am I?

My name is Christy Snow. I'm seventeen and I'm about to die.

I'm buried in a coffin under tons of concrete. No one knows where I am. My heart sounds like a monster with clobber feet, running straight toward me. I'm lying on my back, soaked with sweat from the hair on my head to the soles of my feet. My hands and feet won't stop shaking.

Some will say that I m not really here. Some will say I'm delusional. Some will say that I don't even exist. But who are they? I'm the one buried in a grave.

My name is Christy Snow. I'm seventeen. I'm about to die.
So who are you?

In a return to the kind of storytelling that made Black, Showdown and Three unforgettable, New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker drags that question into the light with this modern day parable about how we see ourselves.

Humming with intensity and blindsided twists, Eyes Wide Open is raw adrenaline from the first page to the last pure escapism packed with inescapable truth. Not all is as it seems. Or is it? Strap yourself in for the ride of your life. Literally.

MY RATING: 4 STARS

This is my second Ted Dekker read. I read Kiss several years back and really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed Identity, the first part of a 4 part series.

What I really like about this book (and the same is true for Kiss) is Dekker really knows how to project the feelings of his characters to the reader. I found it easy to get sucked in to Christy's fear, excitement, and confusion. What I found to be even better is I'm not sure at this point if Christy and her friend, Austin, are really crazy or if they just found themselves in a crazy situation. After reading part 1, I am definitely going to keep reading because I must know!

I really like the cover art also. It is very relevant to the story.

Overall, I found Identity to be very entertaining and I absolutely recommend you read it. Right now, Identity is free at Amazon. Follow the link below to download it to your Kindle.
