Honestly, about halfway through I was frustrated with this book and wanted to put it down. I’m glad I kept on going, a little frustrated with how everything fell together at the end but so be it.

Definitely a page turner. Story a little far fetched, but an interesting thriller.

This is my first Ted Dekker book and I am now hooked. I was completely enthralled with this book. The story line about the Stones of David was something I had never heard of before so it was a history lesson for me as well.

Creepy story, especially with the central antagonist drinks the blood of his victims. Two stories, one from a concentration camp, the other from present day (1970s, I guess) are interspersed. The story revolves around the hunt for the five Stones of David and a Jewish man's attempts to reconcile with his past. Not my favorite of his, but a compelling read.

I couldn't get OBSESSED with this book. Seemed a bit monotonous with Friedman's endless attempts at getting to the mysterious stones in the basement safe. As a result, I lost interest in the book. Some of the scenarios seemed a bit unrealistic. When Friedman was found rummaging in Braun's home, I'm surprised they didn't blow Friedman's head off. Needed a bit more to the story other than Friedman's vain attempts at getting to the Stones of David in the basement. Some of the characters were not well developed. Lots of women of the Bible's name that I easily got lost with. Lots of Esthers, Rachels, Rebeccas, etc.
