    <body><![CDATA[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. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78437870">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think it's brilliant the way Ted Dekker connects all his stories. There are alot of &quot;aha&quot; moments that make me remember things in his other books and brings it all together. However, I'm only rating this one 3 stars, because I thought he could have came up with alot better ending. I wond...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69703311">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The story of how Thomas Hunter first entered the Black Forest and forever changed our history began at a time when armies were gathered for a final battle in the valley of Migdon. Green is a story of love, betrayal, and sweeping reversals set within the apocalypse.

    <body><![CDATA[Quite gory, finger-licking bloody, scab-picking, creepy apocalyptic, time-traveling beginning and ending read. A little confusing if you haven't picked up all the books in the series. Probably confusing anyway, and I like sci-fi/fantasy, generally.

    <body><![CDATA[Really enjoyed this fiction.  I've read the previous three and just enjoyed being a part of the story.  It parallels Biblical ideas but you could probably read it, enjoy it, and not know it beyond the Bible between good and evil.]]></body>
