5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive! Could not wait to read more!, June 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Death to Reach a Star (Hardcover)

The Russian names and unusual spellings were difficult at first, but if I had bothered to read the informatiion provided, in the front of the book, I would have had a much easier time. :)

I very quickly fell under a spell cast by the writer. Sasha is a character one feels great kinship toward. His hardships, and joys, keep you glued to all 843 pages of this magnificent novel.

I kept rushing through work, and took the book with me everywhere I went, just to be able to consume more of the story, should I have a spare moment.

Believe it or not, after all those pages, I want to know more!

Loved this book, it touched me deeply, and I recommend it to anyone searching for meaning in their painful, yet, ever-so-short life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A matter of Love and Death--not for the weak!, January 12, 1999

This review is from: Death to Reach a Star (Hardcover)

This is a tale of historical content, rape, war, death, the occult fringes, prostitution, loss, gain,hopeless times; and this is mostly a story about the many places in the heart, mind, body, and soul where love finds a way in. It is not a story for the weak or childish, nor to the prejudiced. I, however,highly recommend it to those with an open mind and an open soul.The story is long, yet the reader flies through this spellbinding story. Read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, love and spirit will overcome all!, May 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Death to Reach a Star (Hardcover)

I have to admit that I was initially somewhat taken aback by the story of homosexual love that is prevelant in this book. However, as I continued to read I was overwhelmed by the pureness of the love expressed between two souls. Soul love is not a respecter of age, social station, nor gender. This book should serve us as a reminder of that. Heartily recommended.
