Skin by Ted Dekker A REVIEW

ABOUT SKIN
A freak storm has spawned three tornadoes that are bearing down on the town of Summerville.

Yet under the cover of the storm looms a much more ominous threat: A vindictive killer known as Red who's left a string of victims in his wake and is now bent on exacting his final revenge on the unsuspecting town.

But there is an enigma surrounding Red that the FBI is unwilling to admit-closely guarded secrets of something gone terribly wrong beneath the skin of Summerville. Secrets that will destroy far more than one small town.

Wendy Davidson is caught in the middle. She's a recovering cult survivor who takes refuge in Summerville on her way to visit her estranged mother. And with her, four strangers, any of whom could be the next victim . . . or the killer.

MY REVIEW
  Skin by Ted Dekker is a novel written in 2007, and I think it is just a fantastic book. I always enjoyed Ted’s books. They are always full of surprises with plenty of twists and turns. You never know where his books will lead you.
  This book, Skin started with a horrible storm with caused three tornadoes in one place. With that put a killer that is quicker than the faster gun and much death and destruction and you have a book that is a winner.
   Four people, all strangers, the local sheriff, Colt, Wendy, a recovering cult survivor, Carey and Nicole, a brother and sister are then joined by Pinkus and they are all fighting the killer Red.
  The book explores the question what is true beauty. Red wants them to chose who is the ugliest to die. What makes a people ugly, looks, actions etc…  That’s why this book is called Skin.
  You’ll be amazed at what this story is really about and how it plays out. This kind of novel is only for people who love strange stories and weird and unusual endings.
  I will highly recommend this book to all of you weird people like me. Fantastic read!

MY REVIEW
  MOMO is an excellent religious fantasy book written by Kevin M. Kraft. This is the first book I’ve read by Kevin and it won’t be the last. I love to read new authors because once in a while you come across an fantastic new book/author. I usually don’t read fantasy type books, but glad I did.
  This isn’t an overly long book and right now it’s free for your kindle. So what a great time to get it.
  I love the father/son time that started out not to good, but ended with father and son really getting to know each other and the great love they share.
  I love survival stories which test the endurance of the characters and lets you get to know them. The best part of this story is the example of faith and how they look to God to help them through and not on themselves.
  MOMO stands for Missouri Monster also known as bowling bear, which is a legend in that part of the country. MOMO is a short, exciting story full of adventure,love and faith. I highly recommend this book and know you will also. Glad I’ve found a new author and can’t wait to see this story at the movies.

The Remaining by Travis Thrasher-A Review-

ABOUT THE REMAINING
The Remaining is a novelization of the apocalyptic movie from Sony Affirm. Just after a young couple says their vows, the earth shakes, and some people die suddenly and are taken away. The rest of their wedding party and friends are left to wrestle with what happened and with their faith. Characters struggle with secret love, dreams, hopes, and beliefs as they continue to evaluate their faith. This book and movie are both action-packed thrillers that will encourage audiences to think about their beliefs.


In one day, everything changes forever.

As a group of college pals gathers for the wedding of two friends, celebration turns to terror when many of the guests die suddenly with no apparent cause. With the big day turned into a nightmare, the friends are left to figure out what’s happening. With mysterious and devastating catastrophes striking the city—and reports of similar events coming in from around the world—they must address the ultimate question.

Is this the end? Or just the beginning of something more horrifying than they ever could have imagined?

Faith, family, and the future are all hanging in the balance.

Based on the affirm films movie

MY REVIEW
  I really, really didn’t like The Remaining by Travis Thrasher. In the first place the book didn’t really have a main theme or subject. It just seemed like everyone was running and being grossed out by everything that was happening. The events of the book were talking of the last days. Most of what is in the book is wrong in one way or another. It doesn’t follow the Biblical account as how things will be.
  Don’t get me wrong I really love to read books about the end times and the things that will be happening, but I don’t like when things are changed just to make the book/movie more interesting.
  In this book The Remaining when the end came and the believers were taken away, they just died, bodies left here and souls taken. Also another part when the unbelievers became Christians they were killed or devoured by beasts immediately.
  The characters in this book were very flimsy, shallow people. They seemed like they only became Christians so they wouldn’t be cast into hell with these demons.
Very shallow story and characters. I will give it 2-stars because it had some interesting parts.
