Green (2009)

Really bad. If you've read Red, White and Black (the Circle Trilogy) don't ruin it by reading this mess. I think that normally Ted Dekker writes some pretty good stuff, but NOT this one. ( )

in Green, Thomas hunter returns once again to the world we know now as Earth. many years have past, and when he reunites with his sister and his almost to be girl friend, he finds that a lot has changed. they are now older and when he goes back to Earth, he is desperate to go back to his own world and save his family and the circle. but when the lost books of history are taken back to his world, he has no way to get back. he is then stuck on Earth and his Sister and friend convince him that he was to come back for a purpose: to save Earth. he then holds the fate of 2 worlds in his hands and is almost torn apart by emotions. after a wild journey through 2 worlds, and cross dimensions, 2 will fall, 1 will change their ways of belief, evil will lose, and good will win.
Ted Dekker is one of my favorite authors. i have read this series, one other, and i am waiting to start a third. this is one of my favorites. Dekker has done a great job on putting twists in this book, and the fact that there are millions of possibilities for an ending, it made it all the more exciting. for other Dekker fans who have read this series, this book is a must to really close out the series. i do not completely agree with the ending, but it is a good one none the less. i would give this book a 4 and a half star rating. it was a fantastic book, and i would recommend it. ( )

Just couldn't get into it. Felt like I was reading some sort of oh well, might as well write more" kind of book.

Now I want to go re-read the Circle Trilogy to see if it is what I remember it to be.

Update- I have good memories of the Circle Trilogy, so I am going to leave those alone..." ( )

Green completes the circle and ties in the other related series. It's not perfect but it's nice to have it tied up. ( )

The plot is okay, but the writing at times is terrible to laughable sometimes. At times I was making fun of some of the things the characters say. They seemed either ridiculous or over the top. Perhaps the author should go for more comedy. ( )
