5.0 out of 5 stars A Lucky Find, April 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Raising the Stones (Hardcover)

A few years ago I wandered into my local newsagent to buy a paper, and thought I'd check out their bookshelf. A book caught my eye for the simple reason of its having a yellow cover. I picked it up, read the blurb on the back, and figured I may as well buy it. Well, I was hooked within two paragraphs! This book has every thing-- love, hate, gods, monstrous evil, sacrifice, redempton, miracles. Sheri S. Tepper writes a prose so lovely it can make you cry, her characters are 'real' people.... in fact, the only complaint I have is that her books come to an end. But then even the endings are satisfying, so what can I do but go and buy another? Read "Raising The Stones", read anything that has Sheri S. Tepper's name on the cover!

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite book - one I recommend to friends, April 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Raising the Stones (Mass Market Paperback)

If you enjoy Sheri Tepper's work, you should love this book. It deals with religion in an educated, yet satirical manner. An excellent read, and quite uplifting. I lend it out so often I live in fear of losing track of my copy.

A great story that toys with the ideas of religion and personal freedom.
