Seth is a genius who thinks he's just proven that there is no God. But he's about to be tested. He starts to see the future or possibilities of what the future will be. It causes him to cross paths with Miriam, a woman running from marriage to a man she despises.
With his gift, Seth has a real advantage over the people who would capture them. His weakness is that he can only see so far out and if he sleeps, he's blind. There's more at stake than just Miriam's marriage. That marriage would ensure the successful coup that's being planned in Saudi Arabia.
This book is basically nonstop intensity. These two are always trying to stay one step ahead of what's chasing them, and I felt tired by the end. I also felt like I was missing some of the things that really made me love it the first time. I think the obvious spirituality of the story was softened some, maybe for the movie's sake, but for me, I missed it.
Don't get me wrong, this was still a great story. If I hadn't read the original version, I might not feel the slight disappointment I do right now. It was this book and Three that really made me fans of Dekker's, but I just have the urge to find me a DTB copy of Blink right now and place it on my bookshelf. Still gets a Good Book! review.
