What a weird book! I can't do a review right now because I'm still trying to figure out how to see with eyes wide open.
This is the story of Christy and Austin and their journey to discover their own realities and push past the illusions of our world. The book comes in four short story installments and I found the first three very intriguing. They story starts out unsettling as you are left trying to figure out what is real and what is illusion in the worlds of Christy and Austin. I am not really a fan of the psychological thriller but I found this story very intriguing. My problem was that it switched from a psychological thriller to a philosophical story without much transition. I know that Ted Dekker is a Christian writer and have read his books before. I'm ok with the Christian or religious themes. I just felt that the book turned a corner and almost switched its genre without much of a transition.
