The
Sanctuary by Ted Dekker
This
is a book that is an intense thriller written by a well known author
who writes very unusual , complicated thrillers.
The
Sanctuary is the name of a prison that is one of a kind and is using
a new way of rehabilitating prisoners. The warden thinks of himself
as GOD and he makes the rules and uses torture to emphasize the rules he makes.
Into
this setting comes a reformed priest who has pled a plea of
non violence after he had murdered many pedophiles who he saw as sinners .He is sent to this prison. His girl friend, who he loves and depends on
him, receives threats from outside the prison .These are linked in
someway to what happens inside the prison and the book involves a
intricate tale of intrigue and mystery . It is very unbelievable in
some parts. I also found it sadistic and not pleasant to read.
It
does keep you hooked on reading it once you get started and I did
finish the book but really not sure why. Not an enjoyable story to
read. Obviously the author was trying to define the morals of
violence and good and evil in this book and also to write a mystery.
