Recently my sister brought home a book she found while browsing a book store. The book was names "Thr3e" and it was by Ted Dekker. We are now OBSESSED!!!! I read two of his books which are roughly 400 pages in one wekkend. Are there any other Dekker fans amond us?

You aren't the only fan here.

that's good to know. What Dekker books have you read?

Blink

That was a good one. But the best Dekker book ever is Thr3e. You really aught to read that one.

**GASP** I LOVE Ted Dekker! xD
Awesomeness!
I've only read THR3E, but I just bought BLACK. I'm about to read it.. ::nod::
*-* I didn't think.. I would ever meet someone else.. who liked Ted Dekker!
xD;; Happiness!

Yeito

I've read a good bit of his books, they're really good. I don't think I've read Thr3e, whats it about? I think I may have read about it but I can't remember...:c) Have you read the Heaven series? ( don't know if thats what it is called) one of the books is called Thunder of Heaven and one called Heaven Weeps and I can't remember the other one...they're really good :c)

I also think Ted Dekker is one of the best authors out there. I've read "Thunder of Heaven", "Blessed Child" (which was co-authored by Bill Bright), "A Man Called Blessed" (the sequel to Blessed Child), and am currently reading "Heavens Wager" the third of the Heaven books.

I read "A Man called Blessed" that was a cool novel.

i have thr3e, i got it for christmas, but havent gotten to read it yet, my mom did she said it was good, a different approach

I really enjoyed Thr3e...but I kinda didn't like the ending...but that's just me. I loved Blink though.

Yeah, thr3e is AWESOME!! To answer the "what's it about question-- Well, it's about this guy named Kevin who's in Seminary. He's pretty much just an average guy minding his own business, just trying to stay out of everyone else's way when he's called up by this psycho-killer who begins threatening to blow things up if Kevin doesn't "confess." Problem is-- Kevin has no idea what he's talking about.

It's really awesome. While the above is a very bluint plot synopsis-- the book really deals with right and wrong. It's a totally new twist on an ancient topic. You must read it.

I got Three for C-mas last year and I could NOT put it down!!!!!!! It is up there on my favorites list, maybe even the first. I recently read Thunder of Heaven, which held little similarity to Three in the end only. That was an outstanding book too.

I really want to get his new series out Black and Red. The third one isn't out yet.
he's got a website too, but I can't remember it. Piece of cake to locate on search though.

THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E!THR3E! AHHHHHHHHHH~~~! *faints*

I read Blink, too. It was kinda hard at the beginning. I ended up skimming a lot near the end, but I still enjoyed the story. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for anyone who's young or very sensitive, tho. (I ended up crying a lot near the beginning. Not sorry I read it, but, it was hard at first.)

I haven't been able to read any other of his books yets (for some reason, they always seem to be checked out when I get to the library).

It must have influenced me, tho, because I'm writing a story which vaguely reminds me of parts of it.

There's a girl a grade beneath me at my school who I know who was reading Thr3e one day. Being the avid (or rabid xD) fan of Ted Dekker that I am after reading his Circle trilogy, I quickly noticed and asked if she would be so kind as to let me borrow it after she finished with it. She said she would after the book report she was reading the book for was due (May 6) so I am REALLY happy that I'll be reading it soon

Ted Dekker is my tie for fav author...I've read the Circle Trilogy, Thr33, When Heaven Weeps, Blink, Thunder Of Heaven, Heavens Wager,A Man Called Blessed...I think that's all of them that I've read...I can't remember though.

Haven't read any of his stuff yet, but my sister has and really enjoyed it, so I suspect I will sucked in soon enough...

My mom really likes him and has been telling me to read him for awhile... >.> I'm very lazy about reading lately. Once I start though I can't stop.

I finished Thr3e today, and it was SO AWESOME!!!! I love that book to death!!! What a great psychological thriller, I finally finished it in 3rd period today, which is kind of ironic. This only makes me want to read the rest of his books

I just got out "Thunder of Heaven" from the library. Haven't started reading it yet, but I will very soon!

This is probably going to sound weird, but...

A few nights ago, I dreamed I was at a strange library, and I saw a copy of Three by Ted Dekker for sale. I was very happy because now I would get to read it cheaply. (Books were selling for about a dollar or fifty cents.) But as I started looking through it, I saw some of the pages were out of order, and there were extra pages, torn out of another book and added in the back -- pages of poetry.

The book itself was a very old, small paperback that looked like it had been published in the 1970s. I was trying to figure all this out when I saw a note nearby.

A nun had accidentally left the book, it said, when she was bringing in donated books for the book sale. It was very important to her, and contained some of her favorite pages of poetry as well, and anyone who knew her should contact her and let her know the library was saving her book for her! (Apparently they didn't know how to contact her. In the dream it made sense.)

I was disappointed I couldn't buy it. But the nun sounded like an interesting lady. I couldn't begrudge her her book. (Nuns don't own very many possessions, right?)

Anyway, it turned out the strange library had copies of the book anyway, much newer copies. Actually, they looked like those oversized proof copies. And they had very lush, fantasy-type art on their covers.

Except there were three books named Three! (Naturally, it was a three parter.) I finally found the first one, and borrowed it.

I guess this just goes to show that some people have weird dreams. I must have been unconsciously wondering about the book and when I'd get to read it. I actually know nothing about its plot, so my mind made all that up about what it looked like, etc. I don't know where the nun came from.

Alice, you could write a short story about that! It would be a great read if done right.

Thr3e was an OK book, its ending was kinda cliched though. It seemed like a milder version of a Dean Koontz thriller. But don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it.

Cliched? I've never read a book with an ending like it and I've read a lot of books. Can you put the similarities you found in spoilers possibly? Thanks!

I'm reading Black at the moment but I'm only on page six (lol). So not far into it. I really enjoyed Thr3e and think Ted Dekker is an excellent writer but his beginning first few pages aren't the strongest or very exciting. From page six in Thr3e it was hard to put down and I hope the same sort of thing goes for Black. I think it depends on your tastes though too. Many people thought The Circle Trilogy (Black, Red, White) were better than Thr3e and then there were others who thought the opposite. Matter of preference.
Good to see you Archan my friend!
