Annotated Bibliography

Dekker, Ted. White. Nashville: WestBow, 2004. Print. (pg. 370/370)



“White” is the third and final book of the “Circle” series written by Ted Dekker. Like the first and second book “White” is a science-fiction book which again is different from what I normally read. Since both of the previous books in the series left me wondering what’s going to happen to both of the worlds, I had to check this book out right away or else I might have gone crazy with the questions building up inside of me.



In the beginning the author did a short summary of what happened in the last two books so readers are not confused if they forgot, which I don’t know how you could forget. Over all, this book was a lot easier to read than the first two. This could be because I got use to the switching back and forth between the two different worlds that the main character, Thomas, lives in.



Since the book is an adult fiction novel there is a more difficult vocabulary in it to make it more challenging than a young adult book. For examples there would be words like exponentially, heretical or diabolical that would pop up every once in a while.



I enjoyed reading “White” just as much as the previous books in the series. I wanted to read more and find out what happens to the characters as I progressed through the story. It seemed that whenever something exciting happened in one world the author would switch to the imaginary one. This made me frustrated because then I would have to read more until I found out what happened in the real world, but I did enjoy that. The ending was really good except it was a little confusing on how they ended it. Dekker wrote the ending in a way that it was resolved but he could also produce a fourth book if needed. It left me wondering if Thomas would ever come back to life in the real world and would the book of histories ever be found.



I would recommend this book to anybody but only if you read the first books in the series or else it wouldn’t make sense.
