When I first received this book, I was thrilled that my favorite author, Ted Dekker, had put his stamp of approval on it! I have to admit it was a thrill ride from beginning to end.
This particular series follows the King family, who move into a house that has some interesting characteristics to say the least. I feel, at its core, the story is about a family learning to cope with unbelievable circumstances and staying true to their values.
This book is marketed as a Christian book, but I didn’t notice any Christian overtones at all. I felt I was reading any young adult book. If a Christian book now qualifies as a book with no cursing and underlying good values, this would be it!
My only complaint: this book is written for a younger audience (teenagers), and I felt it was pretty obvious. It was a good book, but I felt at times the story and the language had been dumbed down a tad too much for my liking.
Overall, I would give this book 4/5 stars. I definitely plan on reading the rest of the series, and seeing what kinds of places the members of the King family end up next!
