An excellent all-around novel| Posted October 15, 2009
Green is Dekker’s all-encompassing work of art, tying the somewhat legendary Circle Trilogy (Black, Red, White, Green) together. Thomas Hunter, famed army general of the fleeing albinos in the desert, has a son named Samuel Hunter, who has his own slightly misguided ideas of what to do with the savage Horde, who over the past fifteen years have targeted and ruthlessly murdered albinos who bathed in Elyon’s healing red lakes. The Horde possess the loathsome skin disease and are known less professionally as the Scabs, because of the horrid skin condition. Monique de Raison of twenty-first century earth meets a mysterious man called Billy who is obsessed with finding and using the powerful hidden vial of Thomas’ blood. Kara Hunter, Thomas’ sister from the present world, and Janae, Monique’s willful daughter, are also present. Enter into the strange world of the Circle Trilogy, and discover Dekker’s uncanny ability to capture the imagination in the most vivid ways. As the other novels in the Circle Trilogy, Green is not for the very young because of gruesome violence and harsh cruelty. But for the reader daring to explore Ted’s strange world of fantasy, Green is a must-read. The writing style is nearly faultless and Dekker uses all the correct words. Another stunning and provocative novel by Ted Dekker.
Dekker Didn't Disappoint| Posted October 12, 2009
I read the Circle Trilogy several months ago, maybe even a year ago. I had no idea what to expect from Green because the previews said that it would be, "The beginning, and the end." However, I thought the book was pretty good, however predictable at times - the foreshadowing was a little TOO obvious. I would recommend it to those who have read the Circle trilogy already, but would tell first-time Dekker readers to read the trilogy before diving into Green.
Absolutely Fantastic| Posted October 12, 2009
I read the first three books (Black, Red and White) about a month ago and I just finished Green and WOW was it fantastic. It seamlessly started where White ended and ended where Black started. It's mind-boggling, but dazzling at the same time. It was the perfect end to the series.
I encourage to read this book LAST. I liked it a lot better that way. If you haven't read The Circle Trilogy, go pick up Black and make your way through the books, and if you have already read the previous books, you're in for a fantastic treat! =D
Green Definitely Meets Expectations!| Posted September 16, 2009
When I read Green, I wasn't expecting it to be as good as the rest of the Circle books. This was simply because Ted Dekker's writing style had seemed to change, and I personally was more of a fan of his older stuff. I was absolutely blown away! It was amazingly well-written and the plot was absolutely mind-boggling. I normally speed-read, but this time I slowed down and really had to pay attention to understand what was going on. I LOVED this book! Go read it!
