Skin

Skin..

Skin by Ted Dekker.

A very interesting book. I'd like to say with more twist than a screw, but there are a lot of really long screws out there! It starts off slowly, like a roller coaster and then pretty much dives right in it all.

Just a drive through bucks of rain for one girl. Just a rush to a hospital because of a snake bite for a brother and sister. Just another homicide for a cop. And for a gamer just a meet up in some small town.

Ted Dekker brings a lot of suspects out who could be the killer. A killer who is killing randomly. Who is able to walk through town during the day, and through police barricades. Could it be one of the five strangers who meet up out of the blue on a stormy night? Is it a police officer or FBI agent?

I was pulled in the story in the first part of the book. Good suspense. But toward the end, I was almost board with all the twist. The constant wondering who the serial killer is, the drone of the Wendy, Nicole, Carey, Colt and Jerry trying to figure out what was happening. I almost skipped a few paragraphs but decided not to seeing as every time I do that I always manage to miss some sort of detail. Which I would have had I skipped.

While the detail was there I still found my self grasping to finish some of the picture. Mainly the physical appearance of the characters. Described as plain and ridiculously beautiful, and not the ugliest didn't help me to see just how plain or how average.

I suggest you read this. Get your own take.

Like the other two books I was left wanting more at the end. So I guess I'm just going to have to own up to the fact that I like when books end with the end. But then again, it is good to think about how you see the book ending.
