Publisher's summary

Stephen Friedman is just inches away from everything he could ever desire. It's Los Angeles in the early 70s, and Friedman is living the groovy southern California life of a real-estate wheeler dealer. He's making money hand-over-fist and has long given up hope of finding the family he's lost in worn-torn Poland.

But when a deceased woman's papers reveal that she possessed a priceless religious relic, and that she may have been his mother, Stephen becomes hungry for answers. A hunger that may kill him.

I Enjoyed Listening

I enjoyed listening to this book. I wasn't sure how I felt at first but as the story progresses I was caught up in the characters and I wanted to hear more.

Only OK

There was a long stretch in the early to middle part of this book that left me wanting to put it down. But it wasn't quite bad enough to simply walk away. Thankfully, it made a turn for the better after the start of the second part. By the end of the book, I was actually interested in the characters and rooting for them. Still, the ending was only decent and I would have a hard time recommending this book. Maybe it is simply not up to what I had come to expect from Dekker after reading Thr3e and the color trilogy.

The reader was only average, but much better than the reader for Thr3e.

memorable reading

This book is very different than some mystery novels. I like the twists and turns. I also like the reality of the holocost in this book and how it works into the story.

Obsessed kept me in my car for hours

I have made it a habit to listen to audio books on my way to and from work. "Obsessed" has made me enjoy this time so much more and I find myself taking detours and staying in my car to listen to this story.
It is well written and Dekker has become one of my favourite authors in the Christian genre. The story flows seamlessly back and forth between 1943 and 1973 interweaving the time periods and personalities.
Just like in Thr3e you will be in suspense until the final page of the book, or in audio format until the final minute, with all of its plot twists and turns.

Fantastic narration

I really enjoyed listening to this title. Was on the edge of my seat through parts, though some of the story felt rushed or a tad predictable here and there.

A Gem to read!

I enjoy books relating to the victory of people surviving great anguish and Ted Decker has done that with this book. He has also given a deeper meaning as to what it is to search with an obsession for the deeper meaning of life
