The Sanctuary

I absolutely loved The priest's graveyard and this one was really dissapointing, but I'm still a huge fan of Ted.

I'm going to have to think about this book for a little bit. I thought I was seeing the message Dekker was painting, but in the end, I realized he was illustrating something else. I may have to read it again to really get it.

What I liked was the story. I wanted to keep reading right on through to see how what would happen next. What I didn't like was the story. Maybe this sounds like a contradiction, but it seems that every Dekker book has a protagonist who can't be patient, who is emotionally charged and going off doing something I doubt I would ever think of doing. Perhaps this is the nature of the thriller genre, or Dekker's vision of living with passion rather than conforming to society's expectations. Either way, it sometimes feels like Dekker's protagonists are cut from the same cloth.
