This review is from: Riders of the Pale Horse (Paperback)

Riveting, exciting, intricate, surprising, and intrigueing ... all wrapped into a mystery set in the middle east and Russia that combines a chance near romance with political intrigue, warfare, Islamic extreme. Bunn takes a simple young man with a talent for connecting with people of varied backgrounds where they have the greatest need... healing, and weaves his story into the fabric of an intense struggle among many after the failure of the Iron curtain. This book is very interesting especially for the adventuresome among you. Bunn's description of people and places helps the readers imagination paint pictures on the mind of intense passions, danger, and love. An easy read and electrifying story. Could have been???

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but could have been better, September 28, 2003

I've read Bunn before, and this one could have done a little bit better. I thought the ending was way off. The book was very well written, and after the ending, it still had me looking for much, much more. That doesn't just dismiss Bunn as a bad author. Read either "Drummer in The Dark" or "The Great Divide" and you'll find that he is a very seasoned author, he loves The Lord, and it shows in his work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great Christian message bad storyline, April 14, 2003

By

This review is from: Riders of the Pale Horse (Paperback)

This book has a great message but the storyline was horrible. I would suggest that you save your money. I'm sorry but you could not pay me enough money to read this book again. If your looking for a good read get The Summons by John Grisham that book was awesome. If your looking for action your looking in the wrong place. Maybe next time Mr.Bunn.
