Black: The Birth of Evil

It was really hard for me to get into in the first half of the book. I don't know if it was just because I had a lot of crazy things going on or if it was just slow to start. Once I hit around page 300 though it started to get really good really fast. The immersion and intensity of the second half of the book was overwhelming at times. I don't want to give anything away but the way that Ted Dekker described the feeling and emotion of what was going on really brings to light thoughts I had about the Garden of Eden and such in the Bible. Comparing visually what C. S. Lewis describes in “The Magicians Nephew,” “Black” is completely different but what comes after is described in perfect sadness and the beauty of God is awe-inspiring. Very good.
