I know you have probably already discussed this one since its been out for awhile, but I love this book.

I was in the climax of the book and my husband thought he'd be funny (not knowing what I was reading) and tried to scare me. I screamed pretty loud. Its something he teases me about still! lol.

Great read for anyone who hasn't read it yet, and its quite the twist at the end. One of, if not THE, all time favorite of mine! Well done Ted Dekker!

Yes, Ted Dekker's 'Thr3e' is excellent. Sadly I've heard the movie is terrible.
Have you read any of Dekker's other books?

Oh yeah, I forgot about the 3 in Thr3e lol. I have read Obsessed, House, and Showdown (that one was vastly different than his normal stuff). I think that's all.

I love Ted's style though, I love the fast pace. Hard to sleep though when you are reading all night lol.

Very, very true.
Good to see you've read some of his other books too.
House is good but not great in my opinion. The premise is excellent but Peretti's and Dekker's writing styles clash too much. It's a bit of a rushed job I'm afraid.
Showdown and Obsessed on the other-hand were excellent.

Oh yeah. Obsessed was fantastic. Showdown was great,but not my fav. Thr3e is definitely the best of what I've read of his so far. !thumbsup!

You should read his Circle Trilogy (Black, Red, White). They're Ted's best works I reckon.
Fantasy, sci-fi, suspense, thriller, romance, adventure, mystery - it has a bit of almost everything.

I say this with fear the W4J will remove my quote from his sig, because he and I have gone around on this topic many, many times .......

Now that I think of it, I will simply echo the recommendation of the Circle trilogy -- definitely his best work.

I definitely want to read them! Better than Thr3e huh? May have to bump it up the list then and read them soon. *ponders*

Professor Alan, no fear.
Not everyone has to enjoy Dekker's work like I do.
I'll let you be... just this once (lol).
