Item Description...

Overview
Stephen Friedman is making a good living in good times. He's just an ordinary guy.
Or so he thinks.
But one day an extraordinary piece of information tells him differently. It's a clue from the grave of a Holocaust survivor. A clue that makes him heir to an incredible fortune . . . a clue that only he and one other man can understand.
That man is Roth Braun, a serial killer who has been waiting for Stephen for thirty years. Roth was stopped once before. This time nothing will get in his way.
Known worldwide for page-turning, adrenaline-laced thrillers, Dekker raises the stakes in this story of passion, revenge, and an all-consuming obsession for the ultimate treasure.

Stephen Friedman is making a good living in good times. He's just an ordinary guy. Or so he thinks. But one day an extraordinary piece of information tells him differently. It's a clue from the grave of a Holocaust survivor. A clue that makes him heir to an incredible fortune...a clue that only he and one other man can possibly understand. That man is Roth Braun, a serial killer who has been waiting for Stephen for thirty years. Roth was stopped once before. This time nothing will get in his way.

Known worldwide for page-turning, adrenaline-laced thrillers, Dekker raises the stakes in this story of passion, revenge, and an all-consuming obsession for the ultimate treasure.

Reviews - What do our customers think?
another great one  Jun 6, 2008
I think that this one is another of his greats. I loved the way that he combined "history" with "present". I have never cried reading a book before, but this one opened the flood gates. Even though its a work of fiction, its always good to remember the holocost and what those people went through.
 
one of my favorites  Jun 4, 2008
I think this book hit me hard becasue I am a mother. I remember I was reading this at the gym on a treadmill and burst into tears.(I'm not a cryer)
THe holocaust it's self is so horrific, but to write a story that could have been very similar to what a woman could have gone through just broke my heart.
What would I have done if I were her? Life changes when you have children, your heart changes, you view life differently. It's not about you anymore. I thought this was a great mystery...I liked how he became obsessed with the truth and fought for what was his.
 
It was okay...  Apr 14, 2008
Obsessed left me feeling flat.

Dekker's normally taut storytelling somehow got lost in this story with unremarkable characters and unremarkable plot. Normally, when I finish a Dekker book, I love to talk about the book, about the characters and the plot. With Obsessed, I couldn't think of anything to say. When I went to my favorite online book discussion and tried to start a thread about the book, no one else could think of anything to say, either and the thread died after three posts.

Normally, I enjoy Dekker's books very much. The Circle triology is one of the better fantasy series of this century. I enjoyed the twists of Three, the suspense of Blink, and even the starkness of Saint. But Obsessed seemed to lack what these other books possess, a plot. At the end, I didn't care about any of the characters or their situations.

Don't worry, though, there are plenty of great Dekker books to make up for this one flat one.

 
Not Ted's best...  Mar 4, 2008
I had read Thr3e before reading this novel. I thought Obsessed was going to be awesome with a treasure hunt element.

I was wrong. It's entertaining but it falls short on too many areas. It starts off great. It's when the beginning fades away that it doesn't seem to feel right. Things are too tedious with Stephen trying to break into the apartment. It was fun at first but it gets old.

The characters I like and the sub plot during WW2 was interesting. The ending didn't work for me. If you like Dekker than its fun but it is flawed.
 
Perfection  Feb 25, 2008
This was my first jump into Dekkers novels. And I have to say...I was blown away. The story flowed so well that I couldnt put it down...I finished it in two and a half days!

The spiritual meaning that I came away from it with was...when you are obsessed, and learn to control it, it can be a good thing.

The women in the POW camp, you truly feel their fear. At one point while sitting in a hummer on patrol I started tearing up...got some funny looks that day. He truly draws you into the story. I will buy everything Dekker has to offer now!
