Ted Dekker

Ted Dekker's books are a more recent discovery for me... I have gone through all of his Circle Series and those series related to it except Green. It is in my stack to read. I really enjoyed reading these books! They are an engaging & fast read ... full of intrigue, suspense, action, love and symbolism... (Sort of a Christian fantasy series). It is hard to put down and you're never really sure how it will all play out...

If you asked me to rate the Circle & related series I would have to say it falls around 4 & a 1/2 stars for me! I really, really liked it! If you are interested in reading these books here is a tip –

All of the above mentioned books fall under the Books of History Chronicles. There are three series: The Lost Books, The Circle Series and The Paradise Books. You can pick any one of the series to start with but you should read the books within the series in order. The exception to this being the new book Green: Book Zero. With Green it is the beginning and the end of the Circle Series… So you can either start with Green and then read Black, Red and White or start with Black, Red, White and end with Green. I will give you a break down on the series to help you out…

The Circle Series:
Black  or  Green
Red          Black
White       Red
Green       White

The Lost Books:
Chosen
Infidel
Renegade
Chaos
Lunatic
Elyon

The Paradise Books:
Showdown
Saint
Sinner

I am a fan of his books as well. The first one I read was "three." I thought is was one of the best fiction books I have ever read, secular or otherwise.

The Circle trilogy was gripping. I have heard mixed reviews on Green though. But that won't stop me from reading it!
