Watch this trailer. What does it look like to you? Gothic Christian romance? Edgy Christian romance? Romantic fantasy?
None of the Amazon tags say romance, and romance is not something I typically associate with Ted Dekker. So, has anyone read it? What d'ya think? Will I like it? How important was the romance to the story?
I haven't read it or heard of it; however, now I'm intrigued too! I'll be waiting anxiously to see the commentary on your post. Happy Saturday! :o)
ReplyDeleteLarri at Seams Inspired and What I'm Reading Today
I chose it as a book to review on Booksneeze. It is one of those books that has a certain day to post the review, so I haven't even looked at it yet, here is a link to a review I found that gives a pretty good synopsis of the book!http://www.thechristianmanifesto.com/index.php/2010/08/19/book-review-immanuels-veins-ted-dekker/
ReplyDeleteIt looks very different from his usual fare, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm on a bit of a Ted Dekker kick at the moment but have not read this one. sorry ...
ReplyDelete@Brenda- Wow, that was an incredibly helpful link. They're calling it romantic suspense. I think this one is going on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for chiming in everyone. Hey, if any you end up reviewing it, or offering it as a giveaway, please leave your link in the comments here, I'd love to come check out your reviews.
I'm thinking it will be an allegory of sorts. I will be doing a cool contest for this book and it will come with a tee shirt of the book. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds good Michelle, I'll be watching for it.
ReplyDeleteHey, this is Ted Dekker. Romance, are your kidding? Of course it's Romance. I wrote this one for you all. Seriously. It's a bit steamy in places, but no sex and nothing offensive. Mostly it's a passionate telling of God's love for his bride, my answer to Redeeming Love :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what you all think of it. I'll check back here for posts.
Ted!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and giving us a definitive answer. Romance, faith, and a little bit of steam. Ya' know, sounds like something I might be interested in. ;)
