Another amazing book from Dekker!| Posted July 14, 2009
This book has to be one of my favorite Dekker novels out of the ones I've read - almost as good as THR3E. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time and because I couldn't put it down, I ended up finishing it in only 2 days. I felt like I could really relate to Bethany, there were times when my heart felt like it was just breaking for Ryan, and the BoneMan totally gave me the creeps and had me shuddering at parts. The plot twist at the end was really unexpected too. I totally recommend this book to everyone; it was just amazing!
Another page turning thriller| Posted May 08, 2010
This is a really good thriller that Ted Dekker has written. His character profiles are very well done and we get to know the characters very well. It is amazing to see what he did with the main character Ryan Evans. I like how he makes you feel like you are traveling all over Texas as well. It has a great ending, but it is tough to write about it without giving it away.
Great Metaphor| Posted July 28, 2010
Though not as much as a heart-pounding, edge of your seat thriller, this book still provides great suspense while having in depth character development. There is not any cheesy take on love in this book and it did not end as I suspected it would. It did, however, create a great metaphor on a Biblical truth that makes you appreciate the truth that much more.

This book was simply amazing. The struggle for the heart of one young woman had me captivated from page one. I was reading heart in mouth as I flipped the pages. The storyline was complex and at once completely and utterly believable. This is the way real people are. And this is how God pursues us. Amazing work.
Great read!| Posted February 05, 2014
As always another great read by Ted Dekker. The suspense kept me on my toes. In this book the Bone Man who is a serial killer who abducted six young women in search of the perfect daughter. He tries to make them love him and when they fail he breaks their bones and leaves them to die. Intelligence officer Ryan Evans, on the other hand, has lost all hope of ever being the perfect father. His daughter and wife have written him out of their lives.
Everything changes when BoneMan takes Ryan's estranged daughter, Bethany, as his seventh victim. Ryan goes after BoneMan on his own.
But the FBI sees it differently. New evidence points to the suspicion that Ryan is BoneMan. Now the hunter is the hunted, and in the end, only one father will stand.
I Am a Daughter| Posted May 18, 2010
BoneMan's Daughters is a story of beauty and desire, of hatred and malicious intents, and of the love that is able to penetrate even the hardest hearts.
It's the story of Bethany, a young girl caught between two fathers. First, we have her adopted father, Ryan Evans, who has chosen to remain out of her life, instead burying himself in his job as an Intelligence Officer. It's not until a botched mission in Fallujah that his desire to be the father he never was manifests, but is it too late to earn her love? Secondly, we have BoneMan, a serial killer who has abducted and killed 6 girls by meticulously breaking each of their bones. He is the perfect father looking for a daughter, and expects no less than perfection from her. Both are vying for the position of father and in the end, only one will stand.
When BoneMan abducts Bethany to make her his 7th daughter, Ryan immediately responds. But, the FBI has uncovered new evidence that suggests Ryan is BoneMan. Now pursued by the FBI, he must overcome impossible odds to rescue his daughter.
Ted Dekker has yet again woven an intricate and relevant tale that extends beyond its literal interpretation. Often considered a master of his craft, he proves this again with BoneMan's Daughters. This book doesn't affect on a superficial level, but burrows deep into your mind and continues to pose questions long after you close the cover. It is guaranteed to bring in newcomers to his stories, as well as far exceed to expectations of his fans.
Another spine tingling thriller| Posted May 26, 2009
Dekker is back with another spine tingling thriller. Just thinking about a killer who brakes bones gives me the creeps. The themes of god's love, forgivness, and redemption works well in the story. Also enjoyed the concept on how far a father will go to save a lost child.
For fans of Dekker I think you will enjoy this book. I don't feel that this is his best work to date. Didn't think it had as many twists and turns as some of his other books. I also thought it was somewhat predicatable, but it does keep you guessing on how the characters might react to certain events that unfold.
Another Thriller| Posted May 27, 2009
Another great thriller from Ted Dekker, though i can't say that it ranks among his best. Boneman's Daughter had many themes running through it and it was very enjoyable to read and to see how the themes developed throughout the book. It kept me on the edge of my seat, so to speak, not knowing what twist Ted Dekker would give the story on the next page. Though he didn't have as many twists as I expected and i was expecting one or two more twists at the end, since I think it ended quite abruptly. Overall, Boneman's Daughters was very thrilling to read especially to find out how far Ryan Evans would go. I definitely advise this book to anyone who is need of another great book, just be advised that it isn't always as pleasant to read as other books, pleasant or not, it will change you.

LOVED THIS BOOK! I just read it last week. The battle for Evans' daughter is an amazing story. Once you read the concept verse at the very end of the book, you'll understand the struggle for each of us.
