Audio Book Review - "The Bride Collector" by Ted Dekker

Sick, twisted, creepy - all of these terms have been used to describe Ted Dekker's books. Come to think of it, they've been used to describe Ted Dekker.  I must confess, Dekker is one of my favorite authors. I enjoy his explorations into the mind.

I just finished listening to the unabridged version of Dekker's novel The Bride Collector. This book will give you the creeps. A serial killer is killing women so they can be God's brides. The FBI special agent in charge of the investigation  but I can't imagine it being better without the voice acting talent of John Glover. He played Lex Luther's dad on Smallville, and his narration of Dekker's novel is superb.

It's a deep exploration into how we see value, beauty and worth.

In an interview at the end of the audio book, Dekker says the theme of the book is "what if every person is the most important person in the world?"
