Green, Book 0 Ted Dekker
I wasn’t expecting much with this one. The Circle trilogy, Black, Red, and White, was perfect for me—I liked how and where it ended. Unfortunately, with many good books and movies people have to go and add something else, which ruins the first part and the series altogether.
Green was a good book—well written, unpredictable, and interesting. The Circle is being pulled apart by conflicting beliefs; nobody knows what’s right or wrong, and new evil is coming into the world. It’s filled with very good parallels and aspects that are obviously taken right out of the Bible, and the intense struggle between the good and the evil really does captivate you.
As a book, I’d give it at least a four-star rating. But for me, it took away from the series as a whole. Maybe it’s because I read the other ones first, but I really liked the ending of the trilogy, and Green brings it back to the beginning again—like a never ending loop. That bothered me. It had some very good parts in it, and it didn’t disappoint me completely, but it was sort of a letdown at the end of a good series.
