5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any young soul trying to undestand life..., October 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Judas Tree (Hardcover)

The first book that made a serious impact in my life. I was young and lost, and to see and feel other persons weaknesses, pains and frustrations, help me overcome my own, in ways that, after almost 40 years, I cannot truly understand nor explain. Today, I suggested this book to my very loving and talented 16 year old daugther. Not because I feel she needs it as I needed it, but because I know that this book will make her understand life in a way that will make her even a better and more sensitive young lady... I love her very much..

4.0 out of 5 stars A great story of right and wrong, October 21, 2010

This review is from: The Judas Tree (Paperback)

I imagine that this story might make some people feel uncomfortable. Most of us from time to time have probably justified doing something wrong or have acted in our own interest at the expense of others.

The main character in this book took this behavior to extremes while remaining charming and pleasant and genuinely believing himself to be a good man. Behavior that is all too common in the world today.

Moral lessons aside the story is compelling and well written and will stay with you long after you've finished it.

This review is from: The Judas Tree (Paperback)

I really loved this novel. It is the story of a weak man who, because of his weakness and selfishness, ruins the lives of two women, a mother and daughter. It is not a "happy" story, so if you like "happy endings" this novel will not please you.
