Is the circle trilogy by ted dekker really good?

Can someone whose read the black red and white books by ted dekker, summarize what each one is about? I'm not sure if i want to start reading them, because i hear there is alot more books that follow.


Im a twilight fan and finished those books within a week. are these books just as addicting?Is the circle trilogy by ted dekker really good?
Summarize? Ted Dekker? Yeah, sure. His books are so cram packed with anything and everything that to give you a summary would be...impossible. Wikipedia does a fair job of summarizing/overviewing...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_Tril鈥?/a> But, I would definitely read the books. I have read all three of them as well as a number of other Dekker books (personal favorites: Thr3e and Blink).





But, you have to realize (this is my personal opinion here) that The Circle Trilogy goes beyond skimming the surface. The three books(soon to be four--yeah, not a trilogy) look into the soul of men--sin, redemption, etc. The Twilight books (which I have read--in about a week like you) don't delve into the depth of life. They see the surface of love, but very little else. Yes, it is a strange and passionate love, but there is very little in them that I find comparable to the Circle books.





That being said...I still think you should give them a try. They weave an interesting story that can be, at times, hard to follow. But, it is the type of story that drags you along until you pick up the path where it left off 20 pages earlier. It drags you along because you can't put it down without finding out what exactly is going on...why things are happening the way they are...and what exactly is happening. A lot of Dekker's stories are a bit mind-blowing...but in a good way.





Either way you choose...happy reading.
