5.0 out of 5 stars Tough to put down!, Mar 7 2004

This review is from: Deadline (Paperback)

I have to say that this book took me a little longer than it normally would take me. But that's the good thing about this book. If you take the time to absorb the message, it will be more than worth your valued time.

I was taken on a journey through the eyes of journalist, Jake Woods, who investigates the death of his two friends. It describes the relationship between Finney, who cares enough about his friends to correct them and try to guide them in the right direction, and then there's Doc, who only cares about himself and lives for himself. Jake has to decide what is real for him, and he has to go through some trial in his life to do this. I think it's awesome how Alcorn describes that in Heaven there's always someone watching out for you and someone who desires to fight for you at your greatest moment of need, at least that's what I got out of this. He gives an awesome reality of our Heavenly Father, and also leaves the reader with a desire to live for God.

Deadline is a great book with some really powerful twists. One other person said that if you can just take your time through this book, it is well worth it. That is so true, and I'm looking forward to reading Randy Alcorn in the future!

I really enjoyed the story as well as the message that went along with it. I found it difficult to put down and even brought it to work with me to read over lunch!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hits News Media Right on the Mark, Jan 23 2011

By

This review is from: Deadline (Mass Market Paperback)

This novel has many threads but the most gripping one for me was not the solving of the murders but the accurate portrayal of how journalists work in today's media. This is a must-read for all those people who still mistakenly believe that today's journalism is objective and unbiased and actually tries to be fair in dealing with controversial issues. Mr. Alcorn's ideas about heaven were new to me and made heaven sound more appealing than any other descriptions that I have ever read, but of course, this is pretty much theory as we know for certain quite little about what it will be like.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Of The BEST Fiction Books I Have Read
I agree with the reviewer that said this book is not for the politically correct, it isn't. This book does show some of the realities of our world however. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Overly simplistic, but generally true..
I came into reading "Deadline" knowing that it was Christian fiction, so I did expect the possiblity that the author could be dogmatic. Read more
