Description Supposing Books Black: The Birth of Evil (The Circle #1)
Enter an adrenaline-laced epic where dreams and reality collide. Fleeing his assailants through deserted alleyways, Thomas Hunter narrowly escapes to the roof of a building. Then a silent bullet from the night clips his head...and his world goes black. From the blackness comes an amazing reality of another world-a world where evil is contained. A world where Thomas Hunter is in love with a beautiful woman. Then he remembers the dream of the chase as he reaches to touch the blood on his head. Where does the dream end and reality begin? Every time he falls asleep in one world, he awakes in the other-both facing catastrophic disaster. Thomas is being pushed beyond his limits...even beyond the limits of space and time. Black is an incredible story of evil and rescue, betrayal and love, pursuit and death, and a terrorist's threat unlike anything the human race has ever known. Some say the world hangs in the balance of every choice we make. Now the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance of one man's choice.Rating Based On Books Black: The Birth of Evil (The Circle #1)

I liked it. It was creative, but I didn't bond with the characters as much as I would have liked, but I'll still read the next one. :)This falls into my category of Brilliant Idea Executed Poorly. I have always had wicked vivid dreams, so novels about dreamscapes, dreams vs reality, dreams portending the future, etc, fascinate me. "Black" intrigued me enough that I forced myself to read six or seven chapters, then I was so irritated that I ranted about it to my poor husband for 20-30 minutes. What didn't I like? Characters who are at once both ridiculously unbelievable AND flat (our protagonist can't focus long enough to
HELLO WORLD, I'VE READ A TED DEKKER BOOK. At last, now I can be a Normal Person because I've read the Decidedly Abnormal Books that Ted Dekker writes. This book was...interesting. I'm really not sure what I think of it. All in all, it was kind of a "meh" read, in my opinion. Lovely Things: - The plot. Okay, the plot was pretty cool. *nods* The way Dekker intertwined two worlds with two plots that meshed together?? THAT WAS PRETTY DARN COOL. I wasn't a huge fan of the fantasy world, but we'll

The last time I read this, I was 14.Coming back to it at 25, Im the same age as the MC, whod once seemed so OLD to my teenager self. 😅 That was a trip.11 years ago I gave this a 5 star, and I meant it. This time, Im lowering the rating because of the writing and flow of the story. Ive learned a lot about writing since then and Ive read so many good books. I know what I like and what I dont. To be honest? His writing was....sub-par. Some of the descriptions had me going .........why and cringing.
This simple looking cover and basic title was my introduction to the world of Ted Dekker. I picked it up off the shelf of my school library and brought it along with me on an excursion. Without any idea of the powerful wow factor of this novel I began reading and would not have put the book down had it of been for the fact that the bus had to stop and let us out.Black is the story of a man caught between two worlds. When he dreams in our everyday world he wakes in another world of fantasy
3.5 starsI love the concept of this book. Its one of the most unique books Ive read in awhile. But it was not without faults. The characterization was kinda bad in the beginning, sometimes the writing was a little eye-rolly, the situations a little too convenient. Despite the faults, I just couldnt put it down. In fact, I started on the second book immediately after finishing (which is something I almost never do).
