About this listen

Who am I?

My name is Christy Snow. I'm 17 and I'm about to die. I'm buried in a coffin under tons of concrete. No one knows where I am. My heart sounds like a monster with clobber feet, running straight toward me.

I'm lying on my back, soaked with sweat from the hair on my head to the soles of my feet. My hands and feet won't stop shaking. Some will say that I'm not really here. Some will say I'm delusional. Some will say that I don t even exist. But who are they? I'm the one buried in a grave.

My name is Christy Snow. I'm 17. I'm about to die.

So who are you?

In a return to the kind of storytelling that made Black, Showdown and Three unforgettable, Ted Dekker drags that question into the light with this modern day parable about how we see ourselves. Humming with intensity and blindsided twists, Eyes Wide Open is raw adrenaline from the first page to the last pure escapism packed with inescapable truth. Not all is as it seems. Or is it? Strap yourself in for the ride of your life. Literally.

I truly love much of Ted Dekker's writing. He's given me scores of hours of listening pleasure. While this one didn't suck, it also just didn't resonate with me. I found the story to lack action and intrigue and even dialogue...mired in thoughts and observations. The general premise is interesting, but I didn't find the whole story to hold my interest (although I did slog through), although there were definitely places where it was pretty good. I wouldn't be interested in hearing more from this series...but based on his track record, I will still buy most anything Dekker releases.

Regarding the narrator, Philip Hodges has a decent voice and is a somewhat capable reader, but he's very inconsistent and sloppy. He needed a producer holding his feet to the fire to make his performance what it should have been. As it was, I found his sloppiness distracting and felt that it detracted from the story...whereas a narrator should at worst be transparent, if they are unable to enhance the story.

Disappointed...

I really enjoyed the book. it was very interesting and how it displayed choosing God and the light. I found it very complex with a fun twist

Great book with a wonderful twist.

Any additional comments?

I like anything Dekker, but this one did not feel like a full story by itself (more like a sub-story of another book) Had a few nice twists and began really well. Got muddy in the middle, with an 'aha!' at the end. A few references to other books kept it interesting, but you would not have any idea of there connection unless you have read several of his other books. If I was introducing a new reader to Ted Dekker, I certainly would avoid this one until after a few other of his series.

Okay, but not worth a credit

Intense drama surrounds the characters while as readers,we share their pain. This, only to discover that freedom from their confinement lies in the power to see with eyes wide open to transcendent truth.

Explore prison of our thoughts and spiritual truths to set us free.

Ted Dekker has never ceased to amaze me. I love the way he combines all of his stories together. The ending was really good and had a good amount of gore in it. The narrator could have done a much better job, but the story was is one I'll never forget.

Wow!

I love Ted Dekker and how his books make me think harder about my faith. I love the worlds he creates. I didn't really like this reader. His style made it hard for me to get into the book... his inflections and tone didn't seem to match the storyline.

love Ted Dekker

we struggled to finish the book. I was hard to follow much of the time, and the ending want much of an ending. I think the author just wanted to.... tell everyone how smart he was!?? not sure

Boring...

It is a great story line and performance for anyone who likes a good twist.
