Review:This book was hard to put down. It gave some insight on the Catholic religion which I found helpful to me, personally. History of WWII very good. Glad I didn't live over there or had to suffer as they did. For those of you who don't know, there is a God and He is good! John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He sacrificed His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Read more

Review:I only finished one half of the book and I had to force myself to get that far! I do not want to read about messy sex or a dysfunctional family. It did show a bit of promise after 50
% but I was so turned off I put it down to read Tom Friedman's book. Read more

Review:Esta historia me conmovió de forma increíble , aunque me cueste creer que pudiera suceder . Realmente me emociono por momentos al punto de compartir con el autor la visión de Papa , deseando que ese Dios de la historia sea el verdadero el que me acompaña a mi y mi familia. Que esta con nosotro en las buenas y las malas. Aunque no pueda evitar las consecuencias de nuestroactos , esta siempre allí para ayudarnos a sobrellevar todo, y entreder todo o al menos aceptar todo .

Review:I love this book. I read it in college, and lost my copy of it. I think it was written back when the idea of foreign missionaries becoming part of the culture they are involved in was really rare. There are a LOT of layers to this book. You should check it out. Read more

Review:If you really want history re-written, and don't mind that King David is made out to be a bi-sexual, then by all means, buy this book. Otherwise, you will be like me, deeply offended at this assumption and betrayal. I get that this is a fictional re-telling, but to take this kind of liberty is ridiculous and rather appalling.

Review:I was very disappointed as I was expecting more real life story so was hard for me to read. Moving on to book three, hoping it will be better or I won't read. So m e of this story was not just unreal but not even enjoyable or couldn't make you want to read it. I am done with this review please. Read more

Review:I really enjoyed this book. I love the way Charles Martin writes and tugs at your heart strings. I couldn't put it down until I was finished, and then wished it would have continued on. A very good read I think. Read more

Review:Again- Charles Martin DOES NOT disappoint! When you can jump into a book and have to claw your way out to just go to sleep-- then the writer has done his job. We all can identify with Coop-- we've all awakened inside a nightmare and most time we had a hand in creating it. But, nothing can take the place of feeling of freedom when chains are broken and you've been set free. Not many books create an echo that keeps coming back and grabbing your heart again and again like "LONG WAY GONE" if you hav... Read more

Review:I wasn't prepared for how much I would like this book. I thought I would be put off by the lack of suspense regarding Abbie's prognosis. But this book is brilliantly written and there are surprises and adventures along the way and even at the end. It is a rich and rewarding look at a husband's never-ending love for his wife, in sickness and in health. The story alternates between the story of Doss and Abbie's courtship with the story of their last ten days together. Abbie has ten dreams she woul... Read more

Review:This book was pretty good. I thought the beginning was the best part of the whole story. I am not Jewish, so I did not understand all the terminology. I think Jewish people would be able to understand and connect better to it. But it did send out good messages and themes. Although at many points I found myself forcing myself to go back to reading it, I was assigned to read it for Honors English. It was boring at some parts, to the point where once or twice I awoke to find that I had f... Read more
