 Not what I expected June 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was hoping this book would end better than it did. The ending was just a little too corny for the storyline. The premise sounded very intriguing, however, it got very dark that I couldn't read it much at night. Also, some of the writing was really, really, can I say really belabored with some of the description writing.....ok,ok, I got the idea! Characters were likable just not enough development for me.
 Back to his best! June 22, 2008
Wow - just put the book down and what a beauty!
Fast-paced, rivetting, difficult to put down but most significantly a great story-line. Evil shown in it's most dramatic form - possession, and in someone who doesn't believe in evil.
Really good Ted. I'm a big fan but have been a little disappointed in the last couple of novels, "Saint" in particular.
Ted's back - "Adam" grabbed me like "Blink" did. Perhaps one could say "Adam" ended a little too suddenly, and there could have been a greater exploration of the post-mortem. Further, the character of Jessica/Lori doesn't really gel well in my mind.
Also, the interview at the end between Ted and John Eldredge, another writer I greatly admire is a real treat, but don't read it until you've read the novel first as it gives it away.
Ted - well done! Can't wait for "Sinner".
 Vintage Dekker June 13, 2008
With Adam, Ted Dekker serves up another serving of his signature mystery style. This booktwists and turns until the end. As always, Dekker keeps you guessing and second guessing yourself as you try to decipher who will win and how in this battle of good vs. evil. Dekker presents evil and good in many forms, which adds depth and interest to this amazing novel. I don't know how, but Dekker has done it again!
 Great beginning, lousy finish June 9, 2008

I admit that I have read a couple other Dekker books, and did not like them, so I did not start this one off with high hopes. I quickly became engrossed in the story line and was really enjoying myself, when a thought came to me. I wonder if it ends badly. I continued reading until I could not ignore it any more, so I skipped to the back. The ending was worse than anything I dreamed possible. The writing was great, the premises was great, but the ending killed the book for me. Please, please, if you are a Christian writer, do not make the ending so corny. I love dark thrillers, unfortunately, there are not many out there that a Christian can read, but I can't seem to read most "Christian" authors, because they present such a cheap version of christianity, or feel they have to preach to you in some way. Do all "Christian" books have to have someone coverted in the end? When you read the great authors of the past, their worldview was shown in the book, they did not have to make a "Christian" ending.
A Different Slant from Dekker June 4, 2008
Ted Dekker delivers yet again with ADAM. You won't want to leave it once you've started reading it.
ADAM surprised me. I expected something more along the lines of his other books, but this one was different. Read it before it gets too dark and quiet outside...otherwise it'll scare you so much you won't be able to sleep for a long time. It gives the spiritual message at the end that I've come to expect from Dekker's books, but as I said before, it's not quite like his other novels. This one deals with demon possession and makes the point that there is more to this world than what we see. (Yes, that's what SKIN was all about, but this is a completely different animal than SKIN. It doesn't leave you wondering like SKIN did.)
