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

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!

For fifteen years, Thomas Hunter has eaten the rhambutan fruit, and for fifteen year, he had not awakened on earth. His army is fighting a war against the Horde. There are too many to defeat. Thomas’ only plan is to dream and find out how to make explosives on earth so that his army might win against the Horde.
Thomas wakes up to discover not a day has passed on earth. He and his sister are still trying to stop the outbreak of the Raison Strain. Thomas bounces between worlds again trying to be a hero in both. He works with the United States government to try to prevent the end of the world on earth, and when he sleeps, he is trying to save the forest dwellers from an equally devastating crisis with the Horde.
In graphic novel form, the story moves really fast. It’s an action-packed story anyway, but if you’ve read the novel, you might feel like lots of stuff is missing. I also felt like there was a mistake in there, when Thomas was shot on earth, he awoke fine, then a few pages later Rachelle was shocked that he wasn’t hurt. Something was off there. However, my seven-year-old son loved this one as much as the first. Beautiful illustrations. The allegory of Jesus is strong in this book. It was fun to talk about that with my son. Once I brought it up, he started noticing things too. Then, the other day, he had chapped lips and told me that must be what the Scabs had felt like.

The Circle Trilogy is one of the best Christian series that I have ever read. Ted Dekker gets the reader hooked almost immediately with his characters and action. The underlying message makes you excited to yell, “I’m part of the circle!” This second book clearly demonstrates Jesus sacrifice for all of us.
My daughter and I read the original novels and thoroughly loved them. My son is not a reader however and so he wouldn’t even attempt the longer novels. I bought him these “graphic novels” as an alternative. He loves them and reads them over and over.
He is missing out on some of the nuances and feelings that come from reading an actual novel, but he doesn’t seem to care. This graphic novel series is a great way to get the story of the Circle Trilogy without having to read for long periods of time.
