Ted Dekker is a thriller/suspense writer and a bestselling author. Has anybody read anything by him? What do you think?

Personally, he's one of my favorite writers. I slept with my light on after reading Thr3e. *shiver* And I cried reading the Circle Trilogy. And I laughed a lot reading Blink...seriously, this man is the most versatile author ever.

I read Saint. It was... interesting, to say the least.

Ted Dekker is ok. I don't know if you know but he writes Christian fiction. So, I like him as an author because of that but when I read um...what was it called?.....ah yes, Chosen,...it was ok in the beginning but got boring in the end (I didn't finish it though, that should be changed to "got boring in the middle"). He didn't create enough suspense for me. But since, thats the only book of his that I've read, the other ones are probably different.

Yeah, I know he writes Christian fiction. :) I don't know, maybe I'm just a sucker for plot twists. I haven't read Chosen. I think his oldest books are probably his best. They've gotten a little sloppier recently.
