Green: Book Zero: The Beginning and the End by Ted Dekker

cyrille6k's review against another edition

While I enjoyed Green overall, I was disappointed by the ending.

The idea of Thomas being trapped in an eternal cycle of realities feels unsatisfying, especially considering his sacrifices. It's a bittersweet conclusion that may leave some readers feeling conflicted.

Each time I read a Ted Dekker book I am amazed anew. This book does complete the circle and immediately after finishing it I wanted to start all over again. I was trying to describe the book to my husband and couldn't even come up with the genre. Fiction, definitely, Christian, yes. I've read that some classify it as thriller, sci-fi or fantasy? All of the above. Regardless, a tremendous book!

This book was as good as the other three, equally as heavy in Christian allegory, but very good nonetheless. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasty and adventure.

As much as I enjoyed the story I did NOT like the ending, nor did I care much for the new person they had reading.

The original circle trilogy was great. I see what Ted Dekker was trying to do with this book, unfortunately the loose ends that this book ties up should have been left untouched. The original circle trilogy would have been just fine without this f0llow up.
