Compared to other Christian fiction, this book easily deserves 5 stars, so I rated it as such. However, in comparison to other Ted Dekker+ books, I would rate this a little lower. But that is because Ted Dekker+ has set such a high standard with his collection of books. I am a hard-core fan, I even got a tattoo on my arm from his Circle trilogy, so take that into consideration when reading this.

If I were to write a top five list of Ted Dekker books, Burn wouldn't be on it, but it is still an excellent book that I would highly recommend. I tend to like his more intense, high octane books, this book delves more into the character personalities, which many would prefer. It is also moderately paced compared to many of his fast paced books.

Some people have told me that they read a Ted Dekker book, and found it to be too gory. Those people will like this book, as it doesn't contain gorier elements.

Recognize that Ted Dekker writes Christian fiction; however, he is set apart from most other Christian Fiction authors, because he presents his message without stuffing Bible verses down your throat, nor does he ensure that every chapter has to mention Jesus. Instead, he writes good fiction that portrays an overall message that is aligned with God's Word. I lend my books to my Father, who is a devout atheist and humanist. He enjoys Ted Dekker+ books, because he isn't put off by them like he is with other Christian Fiction. He just thinks of them as good fiction.

So, overall, this is a good book that anyone would like, Christian or not.

This book was a lot of fun. It takes you through a sad story of a couple of likable characters, and a complicated, hard-to-understand-his-motives villain who fits the classic Dekker mold for "bad" characters. The story continues on as a pretty normal life after tragedy, even if the main character seems determined to not make godly choices in her life. Then the big twist hits about 40 chapters in. I guess with the number of Dekker's books that I've read, I should have seen it coming, as there are hints dropped along the way, but it gets pretty strange for a little while. The ending suited it, and provided a good conclusion that didn't feel like it was left hanging open for a sequel like so many other books and movies these days. I will probably buy it eventually, I just got a copy from the library because of the reason below (and the title of the review).

The following is a review of the Kindle edition of this book, and not of the storyline.

I bought this on Jan. 11, 2010, and started reading it right away as I found time. I immediately noticed some very strange editing errors, including both inserted or removed words which rendered several sentences (one or two per chapter) meaningless.

The only specific example I have is that on page 19, the actual book reads: "And perhaps if she was forced to tell the truth..." while the corresponding Kindle sentence is: "And perhaps if you had she was forced to tell the truth..." Other errors included the wording "than an" instead of "than", and the rearranging of one sentence with a list of items so that "and" was between items 1 and 2 instead of 2 and 3.

I was planning on posting more examples of this, but I contacted Amazon, and their solution was to give me a refund, and the book has been removed from my Kindle.

This was a very frustrating error when I was trying to read the Kindle, and now I'm about a third of the way through the book and need to get an actual copy. This is the first book I'd bought for my Kindle, and if this is representative of the kind of sloppy editing that goes into creating a Kindle edition, then I see no point in buying another e-book.

As a final note, I've enjoyed the story thus far, but would not recommend buying the Kindle edition.

I really loved the beginning of the book and got really sucked in. As the book continued, I was a little thrown off (slightly bored in the middle) by where the plot was leading to, but overall I would say it was a good one. The morals Dekker and Healy display are meaningful and deep, just a little misguided in the plot. Character development is odd. If you're really into Ted Dekker I would recommend BURN as it ties into a lot of his other novels, but personally I liked KISS a little better by the duo.

My favorite statement from the book is, "God is bigger than all the choices that you have made". The author's message of redemption is clear and like music to your ears.

This novel was something else. It is my first of its kind and wow. It took me awhile to work through its confusing plot. I loved bad Janelle and had a hard time getting that Katie was the best parts of her.

I love the story line, I like how well horror can be written and yet not feel dirty after reading it. No need for nasty sex scenes or language, we have Ted Dekker writing this one! All the scares, all the action, all the ferocity of the best good versus evil wrapped up in one book. I strongly recommend this book as well as all of Ted Dekker works.

I enjoyed the book BURN. It was a slow starter however, the book finally grabbed my attention and held it to the end. Not quit sure that I agreed with the idea evil MUST die, Ste could have been forgiven. Well, can't discuss more for fear of giving away the ending of loving sacrifice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Burn By Ted Dekker and Erin Healy
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 6, 2013
I chose this rating because I know the book will be interesting, even though I haven't read it yet, but I have read a lot of Ted Dekker's books and I have read 'KISS' which was also written by him and Erin Healy.
