( ) I really enjoyed this one. I think alot of ppl in the reviews here are taking this way too seriously. Yes, this book deals with demonic possessions, religion and near death experiences, but, it's a work of fiction, only a story. I have read books that take a much darker approach to these subjects. Dekker does a great job of keeping things in perspective here. He delves into deep and controversial topics without becoming over invested in the ideology. There are some of the plot twist and turns we have come to expect from him, but this one stays the course a bit more than his other works. This was an enjoyable fast read for me. Well done, once again, Dekker! an investigator goes after a serial killer who turns out to be demon possessed. This was disturbing. There was very little of the power of Jesus involved. Dekker also seems to be trying to include Islam in his appeal to those of faith" approach. I did not like this book or the underlying theology behind it. And to be honest, the writing, plot, characterization and pacing just didn't draw me in." In "Adam" you follow the latest and most career intensive case of an FBI criminal profiler who also, through his studies has come to view religion as one of the driving forces of evil in society (and his serial killers motive), as opposed to an "evil force" itself existing. My biggest disappointment with this book is that in the end, little time or attention or detail for that matter is given to how the Light overcomes the very real darkness. So much time is spent exploring the possibility and then reality of the evil side of the supernatural that you are left to wonder how the light defeated the darkness. I gave it 4 stars because of the well thought out plot, (it was a very interesting story), even if the end didn't answer my questions. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

El autor de gran éxito de ventas según el New York Times, Ted Dekker, revela su novela más fascinante hasta el momento... un escurridizo asesino en serie cuyas víctimas mueren por causas desconocidas y un psicólogo obsesionado con atraparlo.El psicólogo de conducta del FBI, Daniel Clark, se ha hecho famoso por sus argumentos de que la religión es uno de los antagonistas más grandes de la sociedad. Lo que Daniel no sabe es que su persecución obsesiva de un asesino en serie conocido sólo como "Eva" terminará en su propia muerte en manos de Eva. Después de veinte minutos Daniel es resucitado, sólo para luego sentirse perseguido por esos veinte minutos perdidos de vida. De pronto se hace dolorosamente evidente que la única manera de detener a Eva es recobrando esos minutos perdidos al morirse... otra vez. Lo que no es tan claro es cuántas veces tendrá que morir para descubrir la verdad, no sólo acerca de Eva, sino de sí mismo. Daniel tendrá que enfrentar realidades que lo persiguen en cuanto a posesiones demoníacas en el mundo moderno, y volver a evaluar su propio prejuicio en contra de la religión, para detener al asesino.
