Review:If you are interested in reading about the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto of Poland during World War ll...this will sweep you away...characters, touching, emotional...how did the world allow this to happen. Read more

Review:It is historical fiction but based on a court case that was brought against Uris himself for having written something about a doctor in the holocaust camps. You learn also about the judicial system in England. Very interesting reading! Read more

Review:Updike has always rubbed me as a pompous, egotistical literary figure that seems to look down on his readers... but I cannot dispute that with this book he again asserts his place among the best of all American writers (see also Fitzgerald, Steinbeck, Roth, etc).

The skill with which Updike illustrates the conflict between two irreconcilable ways of life is vibrant and captivating. His unrestrained criticism of American Imperialism is rivaled only by his more subtle but equally unrestrai... Read more

Review:I have read every book written my Beverly Lewis and she does not ever disappoint me with her ability to keep you interested and spell bound this book is about love forgiveness of others and mostly ourselves. I can't wait for the next book. Everybody should read her books and her husband Dave Lewis is also a great author when a blessing these books are. Read more

Review:This book is not just a sequel to the outstanding Sparrow, it completes it. Buy and read these as a set or not at all. Not since I read Brothers Karamazov, has a book challenged my faith so deeply. Thanatolgy, the problem of evil, has been addressed by everyone from Augustine to C.S. Lewis; yet Russell brings this issue into painfully sharp focus. She also examines at an incredibly deep level just what it means "to believe". Her exploration of a "relationship" with God forces one to ask, if not ... Read more

Review:A good well written story, but difficult subject matter. It takes place before & during wartime of World war 11. With all the horror & gory details. If you can handle that. It is a good read. Read more

Review:*Everyman* is on the shortlist of the most depressing books I've ever read. It's also one of the most beautiful. Unflinchingly, brutally honest. Courageous. It took a lot of fortitude to write this book--it takes just as much to read it.

The novel opens at a funeral. From the first sentence you understand: the "hero" of the book is dead. The remainder of the novel is the story of his life. It's a life of no great consequence or distinction, a life such as so many others have lived and wil... Read more

Review:Very interesting book! In my opinion, Sitchin fabricated certain parts of the story in order to fill in gaps left by the mutilated text. Galzu never existed. The truth is that Sitchin probably does not know whether or not these extraterrestrials left, why they left, and if they are even still alive. Read more

Review:First, the title is so a propos! I have no Jewish roots, so I was surprised that this story was so compelling. The obvious research necessary to write about the world of European Jews in the 1'660's was fascinating. To think that knowledge, writing during that period was reserved only for men is mind boggling! Here is where we meet young intellectual scribe, Ester, juxtaposed with the aging historian Helen in modern day London. Their male counterparts were the blind aging rabbi and Aron, a ... Read more

Review:My only exposure to Mr. Perretti was in his novel, "The Oath," which I found to be an exciting and entertaining blend of "horror" and "spirituality." It did not feel like I was reading a book by an author of Christian literature. Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with Christian literature; I love good literature, and embrace a novel that can open my eyes and make me think about my own beliefs and/or doubts.
"The Visitation" succeeds on that level, as it explores the many doubts and questions... Read more
