Green (The Circle, Book 0: The Beginning and the End) by Ted Dekker

Green is stated by Ted Dekker to be the beginning and the end.  I've not read his Circle Trilogy, so I thought I would be ok starting out at the "beginning".  I was wrong.  There are several references in Green about Dekker's Showdown series that left me feeling out in the cold.  If I had read those books, these characters may have made more sense to me.

All in all, Dekker does a great job of not getting bogged down with theology and making the deep aspects of  Thomas Hunter's life interesting.  I was, as previously stated, pretty confused.  There is a circle that many have lost faith in, and Thomas's son Samuel turns his back on his father to gather forces to wage his own war.

If the circle is broken, then it's an apocolypse waiting to happen.  Thomas must find a way back to his own reality (our reality) to find something that will save them all.

    I enjoyed your thoughts on Green it sounds interesting, but will probably look at the other books first.
    PS. I love Eeyore too, thought your page was pleasant to visit. I also saw the 3 book giveaway and would love to be considered: jmail75002@yahoo.com.

    Thanks.

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
