Thomas Nelson (November 11, 2008)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Ted is the son of missionaries John and Helen Dekker, whose incredible story of life among headhunters in Indonesia has been told in several books. Surrounded by the vivid colors of the jungle and a myriad of cultures, each steeped in their own interpretation of life and faith, Dekker received a first-class education on human nature and behavior. This, he believes, is the foundation of his writing.After graduating from a multi-cultural high school, he took up permanent residence in the United States to study Religion and Philosophy. After earning his Bachelor's Degree, Dekker entered the corporate world in management for a large healthcare company in California. Dekker was quickly recognized as a talent in the field of marketing and was soon promoted to Director of Marketing. This experience gave him a background which enabled him to eventually form his own company and steadily climb the corporate ladder.
Since 1997, Dekker has written full-time. He states that each time he writes, he finds his understanding of life and love just a little clearer and his expression of that understanding a little more vivid. To see a complete list of Dekker's work, visit The Works section of TedDekker.com.

My Review: This is the first graphic novel I can remember reading. I really liked it. I was drawn into the story and the characters. Also it is easier to read than I thought it would be. This is intended for Young Adults but this 25 almost 26 year old liked it too. This is book two of the series. I intend on finding the other full length books to read too. I think I will start with the Circle trilogy then read all of this series. I want to read the book form and graphic form. I highly recommend this book. :)

That sounds kind of fun! I've yet to read a graphic novel, but my son loves them.
