Awesome, I was totally surprised at the end and somewhat disappointed because I was rooting for Kevin and was so shocked at the outcome. I kept saying to myself this cannot be real. I really could relate with the three personalities since I see myself in a similar but not so extreme situation as we all are.

This book is wonderful!!! I highly recommend it! Now below someone said it was awful that Mr. Dekker has a dark mind and does not (think) like a Christian should. I beg to disagree. He is definitely a Christian. His writing focus on the battle between good and evil not just around you but inside you. He write from the characters angle the characters beliefs and you are able to watch their faith grow from learning to trust in God. A very good book this is.

This was the first book I ever read of Ted's and now I'm a die hard fan!!!!!!! This book does a great job at keeping your attention and this book seriously has the BEST ending EVER!! It was so surprising. I never could have guessed it. But I won't spoil anything. Ted is my all time favorite author. I like unusual stories and he is perfect for that. Some of my friends are obsessed with like western love stories. That bugs me. Those can be good stories sometimes, but honestly, I'd rather spend time reading a story that really makes me think. And its really hard to find good suspense/mystery/scary stories that keeps a christian focus. Ted Dekker does a perfect job of that. He's the best!! :)

Horrible! If this man is a Christian then his mind is warped to come up with a story like this. I will never read another one of his books.
It is DARK, EVIL, FORBODING, DISTURBING AND DEPRRESSING. It seems to come of "another spirit".
God's word instructs us to think on things from above.
I would put this in a class with a Stephen King novel.
I have read suspense novels written by Christian authors and never felt a dark spirit like I did when reading this man's book. It makes you wonder who is really influencing his mind; God or Satan.
Adding a few Bible verses at the end does not compensate for the darkness of this book.

This was the second book I read by Ted Dekker, and it blew me away. It kept me reading well into the night because I just had to see what happened next. At first, I admit I was unsatisfied with the ending. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it was the right way to go, as it raises some interesting questions and topics about good and evil. Overall, a thrilling, engaging read....I highly recommend it!

This book grabbed my attention from the start with several explosive situations that had me yearning for more. This fast pace book kept me on the edge of my chair reading as fast as I could. The conclusion was one that I never could have imagined, and according to my co-workers who have read this, neither could they. Ted Dekkar has me yearning to read more of his books. If this is any example of his work, he has a new fan base.

I have read many of Tedd Dekker's books and my favorite is the Circle Trilogy. I was very disappointed with Three. I did not like it at all and unfortunately I saw the movie version and it left me with nightmares. If three is the first Tedd Dekker book you have read don't give up hope he has other really good novels to choose from. Sorry Tedd.

It started strange in the beginning but got to be a very interesting read, but toward the end, well, it ended strange. It was my first Ted Dekker book that I had read. It just disappointed me on the ending, that's the reason for me only giving it 3 1/2 stars. Otherwise it was an interesting read.
