blakesea's review against another edition

I'm going to review all four books here. First of all I love Ted Dekker and knew exactly what I was getting myself into. These books just like all of the others he has written have some religious undertones, and if you read these and didn't know that,and therefore were dissapointed by these books,then you probably shouldn't read anything else by him. They're suspensful and kept me reading from start to finish. I love his style of writing. I'm more than excited to read The Outlaw Chronicles!

I almost gave this book only two stars until the end. I love when Dekker ties his stories together. Well played, Ted.

Overall, I enjoyed the Eyes Wide Open episodes. The series left me guessing most of the time which is fun but I expected a wild conclusion to book four and ultimately I was left wanting.
I spent the first three books feeling that our protagonists were in great danger and as episode four plays out and our characters encounter someone new, everything changes. All of a sudden the danger is absent and it never returns. Instead it's an all out sprint to the unsatisfying end.
In truth, SEER, felt safe. It felt rushed. After the pace and danger of books 1 - 3, I just expected more. And it would seem that the unsatisfactory ending is so abrupt because it is, in fact, just a beginning. A new series begins called Water Walker: The Outlaw Chronicles. It would appear that at least some of the characters from this story will continue in that book.
I just wish I would have known that this was more or less a "prequel" or "stand-alone" book in a larger series. It may have helped me deal with that ending a bit better. I would have known not to expect a conclusive ending because it was just a jumping off point.
So that's my take on SEER. It's probably the weakest of the four episodes. But as a whole, it works for what it is.

2.5 Um ok...not so sure about this one and the ending wasn’t really an ending. I think there may be another series or book this is a prequel to or related to.

I'm just gonna post a few thoughts on this last "book" in the Eyes wide open series. I never cease to be amazed at the richness of allegory that Ted Dekker creates to show truth,the battle of good and evil and the love that God has for us. I really enjoyed this series of books. I can't wait for the next one. I would follow that Outlaw character anywhere!

This was a roller coaster ride.
The finale has a bit of spiritual tone to it.
Overall, I enjoyed the series.

The book(s) started off promising, they kind of reminded me of "Skin". The "is this real?" part. But it REALLY fell apart in book 4. Just awful. So many loose ends. The two main characters pasts, what actually happens throughout the story, just so... ambiguous. I don't know what happened between books 3 and 4 but I had to force myself to finish reading the last bit, which is sad because I normally enjoy Ted Dekker's books. But the wheels just fell off this one. Blegh.

The first three books had a great story line and really kept you hanging on. Then this book came… and it was awful. Turned religious in the worst, sappy way and felt forced. Was not expecting such a(no offense) lame ending to what could have been a thrilling story ending.

Quick read... kept moving and wove in a basic theme of how most of us are walking and living in the dark. Good start to Ted's next series.
