White: The Great Pursuit

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! [...]

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"

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.

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!
