Review:What a great author. I have purchased practically every book she has written and have never been disappointed. Her talent to tell a true crime is matched by no one. Justice was slow but it did prevail. To the victims of this horrific crime I pray you find eternal peace and happiness.

Review:This story had everything. There were times when I laughed and then stopped and wondered if it was supposed to be funny and that was the beauty of the author's storytelling. One of the main characters, Christopher, is a self-proclaimed bad guy who murdered when he felt it necessary to protect his own.

Review:It is obvious from the beginning that Eden/Kate is running for her life and the life of her young son, Micah/Jack.

I must admit that there are twists that I did not see coming until it was revealed.

Review:"Ireland" is a collection of short stories loosely tied together within a longer narrative involving a boy named Ronan. Ronan's story begins in 1951 in Ireland where we met "the last storyteller". We follow Ronan's growing up from age 9 through his early 20's, and his quest to find the storyteller.

Review:I really enjoyed the historical backdrop, and clear explanation of the driving forces behind the events. An insight into the Arab culture was an eye opener, although filled me with sadness in many respects. It was also amazing to see Jewish resilience, motivation, and brotherhood. An excellent book. Recommended. Read more

Review:There's lots of novels about Cold War intrigues, but precious few of them include Cuba. Although clearly a work of fiction, it is well-researched (like all of Uris' books). This book changed some of my thinking about a difficult era in our history. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Read more
