Blink

Ted Dekker

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

On the lines of Ted Dekker- Blink is the first book I read of his. If you've read it- how did you like it?

His best book ever, without question.

Ted Dekker's taking over the Harlequin Theatre! :yey:

I loved Blink - it's what earned Dekker the position of one of my favorite authors \:D/

Actually- I must correct myself... :-

I read House- by Dekker and Peretti- then I wanted to read more Dekker and Blink was the only thing my library has in at the time... :D

It was incredible though- I couldn't put it down!

Blink is definitely my favourite of Ted Dekker's books. There are others that I like, but not as much. I should re-read it - it's been a while since I've last read it.

The Harlequin Theatre should be re-named "The Ted Dekker (and other stuff) discussion board" or something. ;)

I just finished Blink yesterday and loved it; it's my favorite Dekker book so far out of that, Black, Thr3e, and House. (I got a third of the way into Red, and then school started.) I'm satisfied with the theological issue covered, faith, and I relished reading the tale. I'm sad now that it's over. Perhaps I'll restart Red.

It was an excellent book. Definitely one that needs reading more than once, too. :)

Thr3e, Blink, and the Circle trilogy were the first Dekker books I read, and also my favorites. I've used Thr3e to hook some of my friends, then I recommend the others. This strategy has worked nicely so far :-
