Review:I like this series and there is mystery and romance, no raunchiness! HOWEVER,she needs a new proofreader desperately as all of these books have typos, grammatical errors, and misspellings!! i.e., in a church there is an ALTAR, not ALTER - totally different meaning and part of speech. It tends to be distracting when reading... Read more
Review:Over a background of symbolism, the story of Narcissus and Goldmund ("mouth of gold") develops: thinking and feeling; abstraction and concretion; ideas and feelings; intellectual and sensual pleasures.
Goldmund is a student at a Medieval monastery where Narcissus is a teacher.

Review:A tragic book -- would you expect anything else from David Grossman? -- and a masterpiece. Although the translator did a masterful job of translating -- occasionally substituting the jokes of this stand-up act, some familiarity with Jewish culture and Israeli life can come in handy, but the book can be fully appreciated without it.

Review:Once I started reading Left Behind, I just had to continue with each book in the series. In our current times it is possible to think of the things that will be happening towards the end times. I am finally on the 13th (final book). It has been a great series. Read more
Review:It has been a very moving and educational experience to become involved with the characters in this series, as well as other of series by this author. The story line, historical and fictional, offers those of us interested in the slavery issues a wonderful way to go back and be a part of that history from the pages of this book. This is definitely a "feel good/feel bad" experience. Read more
Review:This story was exceptional, as I've come to expect from Tracie Peterson. The way she is able to twist several story lines into one major theme keeps the reader fully engaged. It's hard to put her books down, which is the types of stories I like best. Read more
