Infidel

Now for the long awaited review for Infidel. It brings forth a great feeling og accomplishment when you've caught up on something. In my case, it would be reading. I just finished 2 of the 3 books whose reviews are extremely late. But, to avoid adding to this list, I will be reading Fireflies in December by Jennifer Erin Valent; a story similar with similar roots to that of The Summer the Wind Whispered My Name by Don Locke, before In the Shadow of Lions by Ginger Garrett.

Now, like most comics, graphic novels or manga, it only takes about an hour to read each one because, obviously, it's pictures telling the story, there's no need to go into detail. But, don't let that mislead you. Comics may be easy to read, but they are perfect for a person of any age-group to read because it's the story that counts, not the amount of pages or words.

The one thing I learned from this graphic novel is that sometimes you have to make mistakes or do the "stupid" thing to achieve what it is you want, even if it's only a small piece.

One thing I would like to hopefully open your eyes to as I close is found in my opinion on comics, of all kinds. I feel, as much as it's mostly kids or teens who read them, they're perfect for adults and are probably more valuable to them as well. The number of adult readers in anything other than newspapers and magazines are diminishing. Whether it be a graphic novel or manga, they're a faster way for adults to make the same adventures as their kids. There are no excuses because they make comics for adults as well and even some of the teen stories might be of interest to them if adults would give them a chance. After all, if comics were created by adults, why wouldn't adults not be able to read them too?

Ted Dekker

and his book:

Infidel--Graphic Novel: The Lost Books Series

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.
