Huyendo de sus agresores por callejones abandonados, Thomas Hunter apenas se escapa yéndose al techo de un edificio. Luego, una bala silenciosa de la noche roza su cabeza... y su mundo se vuelve negro. De la negrura surge la asombrosa realidad de otro mundo, un mundo donde domina el mal. Un mundo en el que Thomas se enamora de una mujer hermosa. Pero luego se acuerda del sueño en el que lo perseguían por un callejón mientras extiende su mano para tocar la sangre en su cabeza. ¿Dónde termina el sueño y comienza la realidad? Cada vez que se queda dormido en un mundo, se despierta en otro. Pero en ambos, le aguarda un desastre catastrófico... quizás incluso sea causado por él. Well, half of it is sort of post-apocalyptic. The other half is present day. Interesting concept. I'm still not sure how it all ties together. Most of the questions that the book leaves you with are not answered by the end...my niece assures me they are answered by the end of the 4 book series, however. It started out a little disjointed and hard to get into for me. And, by the end of the book I am only just now starting to get attached to any of the characters. There are not even thinly veiled religious overtones and much of the "Fantasy" post-apocalyptic side of the story is obviously based on a premillennialist theory of end times...new heaven and literal new Earth kind of thing. Still, I have a feeling I'm going to get more and more attached as it moves along. Writing/editing wise, I've no complaints. That's refreshing. Solid three stars. It would have been more, but for the slow/jumbled start and not getting very attached to the characters. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Since I never got around to reading Green (and kept meaning to!), I decided to re-read these and refresh my memory on what actually happens.
The first half did drag a little this time, but the second half (thankfully) makes up for it.
One thing that didn't really affect my reading the first time around, but that was super obvious the second time, is the *very explicit* parallels between the story of the Bible and the series. Don't get me wrong, I knew there were parallels, and it doesn't bother me in theory.
Sometimes it just seemed like Dekker simply relied too much on the Biblical narrative and stopped crafting his own story. Thankfully, the "real world" chapters helped tamper the "colored forest/allegory" chapters, creating more balance.
I would give it a 4.5 this time around, so I'm leaving my rating at 5 stars. ( )
