GREEN

[Trent DeWhite]

Sorry about that, Invisible Ninja. I tried not to give away any spoilers... I don't think I did.

Have you read the Paradise Novels or The Lost Books? Having read them, it gave it all a new perspective.

Nope. I have a friend whose has read all the other ones, and she says that really helped her enjoy Green a lot. Which is precisely why I was disappointed with the book. You shouldn't have to have already read four or five other additional books in order to enjoy a new one. Dekker employs so much referencing to earlier novels that he ends up creating a novel that almost isn't strong enough as a stand-alone story.

That's why all of them together are called The Books of History. Those three series were made to fit together. Green wasn't supposed to stand alone. It was supposed to be the beginning and the end. *shrugs* Aside form that, he has plenty of stand-alones.

No you didn't, just a request to everyone as a whole. You're doing fine.

I liked this book up until the last chapter.

So what happened to Samuel? And what are the theological implications? Did he loose his salvation? And so Thomas is doomed to repeat his life for eternity? What kind of ending is that?

[Termite]

I believe Samuel was saved. He repented toward the end.

And I actually like the ending, to be perfectly honest. I guess his life only repeats as many times as you yourself read Green. I can see how it could be a bad ending, though...
