Hello there!
Just wondering if anyone else has read anything by Ted Dekker. I just recently discovered him and have been devouring his books almost as fast as I can get them.

I've read his Lost Books, Circle Series and BoneMan's Daughters (which totally freaked me out). I can't wait for The Bride Collector!

I've read his Circle Trilogy and loved it, but I haven't read anything else by him yet.

I absolutely love his Circle Trilogy, and I love how he connects almost all his books with at least one character.

I haven't worked up the nerve to try his books yet. From what I've heard, they're a little on the intense/just plain scary side. I don't do scary. =P

I think some of his others are more intense or scary, but I didn't find the Circle Trilogy ones to be bad. What do the rest of you think?

I've read Ted Dekker's Books of History series. It's like 14 books now (or something) and it starts out with the book Black. It's a great series, though the ending is kinda a let down and not as good as it could be
. Dekker has some very interesting books. His stuff is almost as good as Frank Perretti.

Isn't the Books of History business the majority of what he's written, and all of them are connected just barely? He's made it way too hard to keep up with the ins and outs of his brain.
I've read "Skin," "Thr3e", "Showdown," "Adam," and "House" by him and Frank Peretti. I think I prefer DeKker over Peretti, though, the morals for DeKker's stuff seems to dig deeper than Peretti.

I read the circle series and enjoyed them very much, except that the ending of Green was lame. I also read the Lost Books and liked them through book 4. 5 and 6 I didn't like so much, and that ending was rather lame too. I haven't read the Paradise Trilogy, (these three series are all interconnected,) and I have a feeling I won't like them, since they deal with the lame parts of the Lost Books!
Haven't read anything outside of that particular set of books though...

I love Ted Dekker! I've read the Bride Collector, BoneMan's Daughter, The Lost History Books, Thr3e, Kiss, Burn, and plenty others. But one thing I've noticed is that he always has the same plot which gets a little boring.

I finally read some Dekker! (Gasp, world.) It was Blink, and I rather enjoyed it. I would have tried the Circle trilogy too, but the place that I'm staying at only has White. That makes it kinda tough.

The thing about the circle series is that they literally do circle. (although the connection is rather lame, if you ask me.) So you can start anywhere, as long as you move in the same direction. So if you start with White, go on to Green, then Black and then Red.

They do circle, but I don't think you could really start with White though. I think you would have to begin with Black or Green.

I'm in the middle of Heaven's Wager. It's ok. I haven't picked it up in about five days and I'm halfway through, if that says anything.
I'm not really a fan of the style. Short on character development, long on Fragments. Incomplete Sentences. And. Stream of Conciousness. Need to read Blink, some friends of mine said it was excellent...
