About the Book:
EYES WIDE OPEN is a novel that challenges the status quo as Ted often does, but it also stretches the idea of how stories themselves are told.This wild ride is one seamless novel written and initially released as four (4) sequential shorter books or episodes (Identity, Mirrors, Unseen, Seer) delivered weekly as 75 page eBooks before the full 300 page story (Eyes Wide Open) comes out on Feb 4th in both paperback and eBook formats.Think of each shorter eBook as a TV episode and Eyes Wide Open as the full season. Much like some of Ted's favorites, Dexter and Homeland, each episode ends on a cliffhanger that is continued in the next.
My Thoughts:
“Have you ever wondered why you can’t remember your
childhood?” (Christy to Austin)
Oh. My. These two
characters have really entered a most hellish place by the time Christy says
these words to Austin. They are in a
place of inescapable horror, and no matter what they do, they find themselves
descending into an abyss of confusion and – dare I say it? - delusion.
Or do they? That’s
the real question by the time you reach the end of the third section of Eyes
Wide Open. Events occur – disturbing events
– and then other events occur that sort of make the previous ones of no
import. In short, the reader starts to
really question what is really going on within the pages of this story.
And I think this is just what Dekker intends. He is taking the reader into the minds of
these broken, lost, enslaved characters and allowing the reader to experience
their hopelessness, their helplessness and their total inability to do anything
about their circumstances. So where does that leave us? Waiting for the fourth and final segment of
the story of course!! And feeling very
uneasy about the way things are going for our characters…..
