Ted Dekker is an awesome writer! Don't start any of his books unless you intend to lose sleep and have a new favorite author! The twists and turns as well as the story and it's characters are just amazing!

the writers put dekkers lirurature into grahpic novel format very well i reccomend that if you are into fantasty or multi dimensions u pick the series up

Again, just to clarify, this is a review for the graphic novel of Red. If you want to read my review of the regular novel, click here.

Mikil tells Thomas Hunter that she dreamed about Kara Hunter, Thomas' sister from the other world. She tells Thomas that he died there, which explains why he hasn't dreamed about earth in thirteen months. Mikil insists that without his help, the Raison Strain will be released. Thomas remembers the blank book and writes a quick story that ends with Thomas Hunter coming back to life.

In France, Thomas awakes on a gurney with a white sheet draped over him. Not only is he alive, but the blank book of history came with him. This sets off the third and final book in the Circle Trilogy of graphic novels. The race is on for Thomas to try and stop the spread of the Raison Strain from killing all but a select few of the world's population. And in the future world, Thomas falls in love with a scab.

In graphic novel form, this story goes by really quickly, but I felt this third book was easiest to follow for someone unfamiliar with the series. Ted Dekker is brilliant the way he weaves the plots of both worlds together. Thomas knows and loves Elyon and Justin in the future world, and he seeks to find the truth of that same creator on earth. This was the perfect ending to the series. I love Dekker's creativity and pacing. It's non-stop action that comes down to one man's choice to save the world or save himself.

As mentioned in my reviews of the Black and Red graphic novels, White is a bit gory with its fight scenes, but it's a comic book. To read my review of the Black graphic novel, click here.

I haven't actually read the graphic novels. I did flip through them and the pictures are great! I have read the Circle series though, and it's amazing! I highly recommend it! And if you're into graphic novels, these are a definite must have!

The Circle series, by Ted Dekker, is an amazing series filled with action, adventure, romance, and tons of suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

The new book, Green, comes out September 2009! [...]

Thomas Hunter has the weight of two worlds on his shoulders. In his reality a deadly virus is running rampant while efforts to find a cure keep coming up short. His loved ones are in danger and the enemy always seems to be one step ahead. In the other world his beloved people are in danger of being destroyed by the Horde. Thomas has already suffered great loss and his outlook is bleak at best. Qurong, the evil leader of the Horde, wants nothing more to see Thomas and the last remnants of Elyon's followers destroyed. When all seems lost, Thomas desperately searches for one last ray of hope.

Ted Dekker's Circle Trilogy novels were groundbreaking to say the least when they were released in 2004. I still consider this trilogy to be one of the most inspirational and entertaining fictional works I've ever read. Naturally, I was thrilled when I heard the news that Circle Media was publishing the trilogy in graphic novel form. I must say the result is everything I was hoping for.

That being said, I would never suggest that someone should read the graphic novels instead of the novels to get the whole story. There is simply too much packed into these stories and you can only get the full experience through the actual books. But are the graphic novels worth reading? Absolutely!

Hats off to the writers who have cleverly adapted Dekker's complex plot lines into a story that flows well in the graphic novel format. Readers who are unfamiliar with the story will have no trouble following the story threads flowing through the alternating realities. The artwork is superb on every level. Seeing this story brought to life in such vivid detail was such a thrill, and I especially loved the way the artists effectively portrayed the other reality.

This is indeed a fun way to experience or re-experience Ted Dekker's most popular work. Circle Media has plans to adapt more of Dekker's works into graphic novels, with Showdown next on the list. If nothing else I hope these graphic novel adaptations will introduce more readers to Dekker and his arsenal of quality storytelling.

I've read all 3 books (Black, Red, and White)
And they are all great.

My son, who hates to read, loves this series of graphic novels. He says "They're phenomenal! Even if you don't like to read, you should give these a try"

Bought this for my grandson & found out its the last one for the series. In other words he has to read a book before this one but he's excited about this book.

Very disappointing this is not what I expected at all. I expected the book and this is a comic.

My bad, I guess. I bought it thinking that it was the actual book. Who knew "graphic novel" means "comic book". Just a warning to those of you thinking your getting a better deal, this is not the book. It is the comic book version of the book. I am sure that for those of you who enjoy comic books, it is fantastic. For me, I was disappointed.
