2.0 out of 5 stars Confused..., August 1, 2006

This review is from: Lilah: A Forbidden Love, a People's Destiny (Book 3 of the Canaan Trilogy) (Hardcover)

This was wasn't NEARLY as good as 'Sarah' but not quite as bad as 'Zipporah'. I was just about to put it down when Lilah was summoned to the queen. That's when it picked up and "saved" this book. I'm confused because I don't see how Marek could have written such a WONDERFUL book in 'Sarah' and then fallen so far in his next two.

If you can borrow this book from a friend or a library then I would say to read it, but don't spend money on the hardcover version.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 9, 2007

By 

Missouri Reader (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lilah: A Forbidden Love, a People's Destiny (Book 3 of the Canaan Trilogy) (Hardcover)

I was disappointed in this book. I read Sarah, and thought it was great. Zipporah was almost as good....this was not nearly as good. If you have read the other 2, you will probably want to read this, but if not....don't bother.

The story is loosely based on the book of Ezra. I'm not sure Lilah is actually mentioned in the Bible, and I can't find her. The book started out very slowly, got interesting enough to continue about halfway through, but had a sudden and horrible ending. Very unsatisfactory!

If this were submitted for a writing class and I was the instructor, I'd be handing it back with big red marks saying, "please try again Marek, I KNOW you can do better!"

1.0 out of 5 stars Lilah, July 1, 2006

This review is from: Lilah: A Forbidden Love, a People's Destiny (Book 3 of the Canaan Trilogy) (Hardcover)

Sadly, Halter at his worst. Sarah was magnificent. Zipphorah was excellent, although it has a disappointing ending, but Lilah simply isn't worth the money. Weak story line and I can only categorize it as mediocre at best. I'm sorry I bought it and wish I could get a refund.

My recommendation is don't waste your money on this book!
