Ted Dekker implied he was trying to wrap up a series with this book. I do not feel wrapped up. This book gave me many more details into the whole Circle series, but I don't feel that everything has been completed. Hopefully more books in the future will reveal more details that will finally allow us readers with less brilliant minds and busy schedules to figure out all the mysteries of Ted Dekker's world.

El libro tiene una historia excelente, original y bien planteada, una historia en la que nos encontraremos al bien representado por un personaje llamado Elyon (en nuestro caso dios) y el mal representado por Teeleh, como vemos personajes totalmente nuevos y originales, algo que se le tiene que reconocer al autor ya que todo el libro está lleno de original (desde mi punto de conocimiento) y una historia totalmente bien ligada, aunque debo mencionar que en partes resulta confuso, en parte por la n

Ted Dekker says you can read the circle trilogy from Black to Green or from Green to White. I read it in the order of Black, Red, White, Green and honestly think it would be very hard to read it Green, Black, Red, White. Dekker really threw me for a loop in the last half of Green. He left me... a little crazed? The amount of information being thrown at me in this book was kind of overwhelming my brain. At the end of Green, having read all 4 of the books in the Circle Trilogy, I thought, "It

I was surprised by this book. I hadn’t read any of the previous ones in the series, so I was hesitant to pick it up, even though the back does state it could be read first.
There is a lot of creativity in the story. The landscapes are fully developed and the characters had depth to them. I was slightly confused at the beginning at all the names and storylines, but as the book moved along I was able to catch on and enjoy myself.

I couldn't make it past the first few chapters. For a book that is supposed to complete/begin a "circle", the writing style (compared to the other 3 books) stuck out like a sore thumb. It didn't flow with the previous books at all. His writing has lost the magical quality and grown more reliant on the only non-stock/unrecycled character personas he has--Thomas Hunter, Marsuvees Black, and Billy. After sticking through the original Circle trilogy, the Lost Books series, Showdown...all t

I've never a big Ted Dekker reader. In fact, the only other book of his that I've read was Lost, also through Amazon Vine. I wouldn't say that I loved it -or that I hated it either. I found it interesting, unique and entertaining, but since it was the fifth book in a series, it was just a little difficult to get into without having read the previous books. That's why I was a little worried about picking up Green, considering that I haven't read any of the other Circle books -but since Green is b

What a disappointment. I really enjoyed the first three books, especially Red and White. I was perfectly fine with the completion of the saga just as it was at the end of White. Sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone. Yes, I get the whole "circle" concept that Dekker was going for, but come on. Even fantasy has to be believable. The ending of Green was such a huge stretch, I was left with a very bad taste in my mouth. Frankly, it ruined the whole series for me. I literally thre

I may have rated this book a bit higher if I had read it closer to the time that I finished The Circle Trilogy. I was scrambling to remember who was who and had a hard time justifying the use of my free time on Dekker’s darkness, well, not necessarily his darkness, but reading about the darkness of the human heart and what that may look like at the end of time.
On the flip side, I loved Thomas’ love for his wife and the reminder of what Christ’s love for the church looks like. Discov More...

I think it’s fairly safe to say that few books in the Christian Fiction genre have had the level of anticipation associated with it that Ted Dekker’s latest book, Green, has enjoyed. As Dekker completes the “Circle” series with this prequel that’s mostly a conclusion, Thomas Nelson has ratcheted up the marketing, complete with a nice website and fantastic animated trailer. Fans who have taken the full ride Dekker provided with the series have been given bits of the world he created in the “Lost

Thomas Hunter fell asleep in our world in our time, and woke up 2000 years into the future, well after the Apocalypse had destroyed Earth. Thomas' group, the Circle, as well as his son, are no longer completely faithful to their god, Elyon. Thomas is heartbroken and discovers he must find a way to save the world from another Apocalypse. He must trust Elyon and allow his son to follow his own heart, while Thomas makes the difficult decision to leave the Circle to save them all.

Recently I read Green by Ted Dekker. It's called book Zero. According to Dekker you can read this final book in the Circle trilogy. Which is ironic as this is the fourth book and there are some other books that are connected to these books as well. Confusion aside, Dekker is an amazing storyteller. Quite possibly my favorite author in this fantasy genre. I recommend his books, although some of them can be a bit dark, this one included.

Ted Dekker is a prolific author, and if any single book speaks to his writing prowess, it is Green. This novel serves as the beginning and end to the Circle series, the first three books of which were published in 2004. It is the preferred starting place for new readers and truly does end with the beginning of the previous three books. If this incredible literary feat were not enough, Green also ties into the stories of many of his other works, either loosely or directly. In total, 15 of his nov

This was my first Ted Dekker book. I received it from BookSneeze publishing after choosing (what looked to be) an interesting novel from their selections. I was not disappointed.
I've read quite a few Christian novels and most of the time am disappointed by the writing and the plot. That wasn't the case with Green.

Green. The beginning or the end? I will have to admit that I am with the norm on this one. I truly believe if you plan to read this series that you start with Black and end with Green. I think the experience of The Circle will be so much more enjoyable. Green was an amazing read as were the other 3 books, however, it was definitely the darkest out of the 4 books. Not necessarily a bad thing...but be forewarned that you are entering a very dark and evil world. I loved this series, but I am left u

Well, I started reading this after finishing White, but got so lost and confused due to crazy Billy that I stopped to read the Paradise novels. Personally, I suggest reading the Circle Trilogy, then the Paradise novels, and finally the Lost Books. After that, Green made much more sense.
It was amazing. After getting over the initial hump of Samuel just being brainless, the plot thickened, the characters unfolded, and the end of the world of the Circle grows near. As always, everything was ca More...

Green was a heart-pounding finale to Dekker's Circle series. Having been a long-time fan, I felt like Dekker wove the different characters and plot lines together in an excellent way. By the end, you'll have some questions answered (and a few more questions opened up), but it's an apocalyptic journey that's definitely the darkest (perhaps overly so) of the main Circle books. My main tiff with Green is that Dekker's very flawed theology comes through more notably than in other books. Dekker pres

"Green" is good, and after a long vacation from his trademark series, Dekker has come back with a bang. This book is climactic in almost every way, which is good and bad. The story is emotional and the action rousing and on an enormous scale, but the story is not so much progressive as it is cinematic. Readers are no doubt given a boom to finish off the wild series, and most will like that; but it takes more than jawdrops to satisfy me totally. Still, a very engrossing and exciting adv

Ted Dekker has been one of my favorite authors for a few years now, but I'm not sure quite what I think of Green. Coming a few years after the last book in the Circle Trilogy was published, it seems kind of odd to throw it into the mix. Not to mention that Green leaves me with more questions than answers. I know that Dekker is the kind of author who leaves you lots of food for thought and he's definitely good at keeping you guessing, but it's kind of frustrating to have finally reached the end o

Ted Dekker's "Green" is listed as book 0 of the Circle series. It can serve as either book 1 or book 4, bringing the entire series full circle and tying up all the loose ends.
The book begins 10 years after White left off, or it begins in a completely unknown world that is just as confusing as the beginning of Black if one does not know the context of the story. The characters have the same depth as they did previously and the intensity of the story builds as much as it did More...

Ted Dekker is a master in his genre. "Green" is no exception. From the very first twist, in the introduction, to the last sentence, Ted sucks you back into the worlds of Thomas Hunter. As the story unfolds betrayal is in the air. Ted brings the characters and their struggles to life. The story grows even more with the characters from the Paradise novels being brought back into the story. If you have read any of Ted's books you know he has amazing storytelling ability. He allows the rea

I read this book at a time in my life when I was nearing the top of a deep and dark spiritual hole that had brought me to question pretty much everything that I once thought I believed about God. By this time I was earnestly looking for the answer to two questions: 1) What does it mean to love God? To really love God? What does that look (and feel) like? And 2) What does it mean that God loves me? What does it mean to experience that? Really?

Today I'm reviewing Green by Ted Dekker.
Green is Ted Dekker’s fourth book in the Circle Trilogy. Green is book 0 which is supposed to complete a circle creating a series where there really isn't an end or beginning. The jacket claims you can jump into the series by starting with any of the four books, but I found I was lost having not read the first three books.

Green is the last and the first of a series. One can begin the series with it, or end the series with it.
It is a sort of Christian science fiction. It is almost Narnia for adults.
