All was well until I came to the latter half of the book. The last part of the novel had me wondering for a long time where iDekker was going with this. It seemed not to be from the same novel. I was still mesmerized by it because of Dekker's voice, but I was often times wondering if what I was reading was real or imagined. The character used is not reliable enough at times and leads to a pretty weird ride. I'm sure I am a minority in my rating of this book. I have read several of his books that completely enjoyed, this just didn't fall into this category. ( ) Carol420 | May 31, 2016 | My Thoughts: Wow! This is so different than what I usually read. And I probably wouldn't have read it except that it is our next Library Book Club read. I love when a book/author unknown to me is suggested and it turns out to be exciting and unexpected! And this certainly was! (  ) TerriS | Jan 17, 2016 | A haunting dream leads Julian and her small son to go on a trip to the South Pacific. She's newly divorced with nothing to lose, so she naively tries to find the reason for the dream. She takes a boat ride out into the South Pacific Ocean, and a huge storm arises. The captain of the boat drowns and tribal men fish her out of the sea. What follows is a story about showing love to a people group overcome with power struggles and hate. The author treats the fictitious tribe respectfully. The story arch is surprising at points. I liked the jungle setting-- I enjoyed it (  ) heidip | Feb 13, 2015 | Following the promptings of a dream and in the wake of a loveless marriage, Julian and her two year old son embark on a journey that will take her half way around the world. A shipwreck from stormy conditions leaves her at the mercy of her abductors - the indigenous natives on the island of New Guinea. Forced with saving herself, Julian will make some difficult choices that will not only affect her own salvation, but the fate of two warring clans also hangs in the balance. Dekker is known for writing suspenseful, thrilling stories that effortlessly balance his faith with the characters he creates. There is always a moral, a lesson, a call to salvation, and a story of love from the one God in each of his books. Most of the time, that purpose is subtle and weaved into the overall storyline seamlessly, but this time around, it felt forced and clunky. The second half of the book veered into the realm of philosophical preachings that bordered on being on the wrong side of strange. Not his best work, but it would take more than one questionable book for me to write him off as one of my go-to authors. (  ) jolerie | May 7, 2014 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"The story of how I, Julian Carter, and my precious two-year old son, Stephen, left Atlanta, Georgia and found ourselves on a white sailboat, tossed about like a cork on a raging sea off of Australia's northern tip in 1963, is harrowing. But it pales in comparison to what happened deep in the jungle where I was taken as a slave by a savage tribe unknown to the world. Some places dwell in darkness so deep that even God seems to stay away. There, my mind was torn in two by the gods of the earth. There, one life ended so another could begin. Some will say I was a fool for making the choices I made. But they would have done the same. They, too, would have embraced death if they knew what I knew, and saw through my eyes. My name is Julian and this is my story. But more, it is the story of my son who was born to change the world. From deep in the impenetrable jungles where New York Times bestselling author Ted Dekker was born and raised, comes OUTLAW, an epic adventure of two worlds that perhaps only he could write. Full of harrowing twists, sweeping violence, and wild love, Outlaw takes us beyond the skin of this world to another unseen"--Publisher. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
