Green ~ by Ted Dekker

Gripping drama. Thrilling suspense. Good and evil. Love and hate. Light and darkness. The apocalypse. If any of these phrases appeal to you, get ready, because Green by Ted Dekker has them all! Green is the final book in the Circle Series, following Black, then Red, then White. It is a thoroughly brilliant, fantasy redemption story, but with a more contemporary feel, like a modern Lord of the Rings or Narnia. It was almost alive in a sensory sort of way, meaning I felt I was actually experiencing emotion to what was being described – I experienced despair, horror, repulsion, fear, love, joy, hope, strength, etc. I even saw the most stunning of beauty and the vilest of evil.

While this is the final book of the series, it can be read first. I have not read the other three, but (with a bit of fear and trepidation) I really want to after reading Green. Once I picked it up, I could hardly put it down. At nearly 400 pages, it can easily be consumed in a weekend; it is such a page turner. Fans of Dekker, a master of suspense and story-telling, will once again be pleased with his work.
